Dead & Buried

[Verse] Let me find the way that I can make do Without circumstance, without follow through A man in desperation can't trust a troubled mind I'm building an empire, say I'm wrong I don't mind if it's all against one No room for weakness, I'll be gone forever [Chorus] Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away What will the children sing, what will the children sing When I'm dead and buried? [Post-Chorus] Dead and buried, dead and buried Dead and buried, dead and buried [Breakdown] I can't fight it, I can't fight it I can't fight it, I've slipped through the cracks I hold nothing back [Chorus] Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away What will the children sing, what will the children sing When I'm dead and buried? [Post-Chorus] Dead and buried, dead and buried Dead and buried, dead and buried [Bridge] Never thought it'd be easy 'cause it's not if it's worth to have (It'll pass you by) You have a choice Be your own person, have your own voice [Breakdown] So let's set it off [Chorus] Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away What will the children sing, what will the children sing When I'm dead and buried? [Post-Chorus] Dead and buried, dead and buried Dead and buried, dead and buried
