Bury Me

I didn't want you to die in my arms
What fragile lives we live

He tried to flee the scene and
Couldn't stop to catch his breath so
He had to stop believing there was a pain in his throat
(Just think of the last word that he spoke)

She knew he'd not outrun it
"The pain and torment creep in slow"
I heard a passing comment
"There's nothing below"
(I should have helped you stay afloat)

Condemn me, I feel the blame
(Now the world's on fire)
His "compromise" was not the same
He couldn't take it any longer

Please, let me take his place
No god can save you, but don't think I won't try
Just bury me in my best
Slow dancing, with the rest

Bury me, I'm doing fine
Got a clockwork heart going overtime
And a broken head that fell apart
Just take a seat, it'll be over soon

Bury me, full of regret and a damaged soul
Who could forget, blood on your hands is tainted red
Burns through your skin until there's nothing left

Not ashamed to say I fell apart
Vitriol from the start

Please, let me take his place
No god can save you, but don't think I won't try
Just bury me in my best
Slow dancing, with the rest

Please, let me take his place
No god can save you, but don't think I won't try
Just bury me in my best
Slow dancing
