Dead & Buried

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

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?

Dead and buried, dead and buried

Dead and buried, dead and buried

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

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?

Dead and buried, dead and buried

Dead and buried, dead and buried

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

So let's set it off

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?

Dead and buried, dead and buried

Dead and buried, dead and buried
