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
