Bury Me

I still struggle with the words
The least important part
Like the spirit in the woods
I work well in the dark
Try to dismember me
I think you’re scared to see
You like the dress I wear
And I wear it well
Bury me
bury me
bury me in it
Bury me in mine
I’m still getting used to it
This makeup looks like shit
The books you read are so unkind
To the undefined
A world of in-betweens
To see and be unseen
But still you’d like to take my head
Cuz I won’t stay dead
Bury me
bury me
bury me in it
Bury me in mine
Who’s laughing now
Who’s laughing now
When the sun goes down
Who’s laughing now

Nobody comes here anymore
I leave the deadbolt on the door
It’s been a string of Sundays
Keeping everything so mundane
There isn’t anybody else
That makes me feel so seen
I put my makeup on myself
Now every day is Halloween
Nobody looks at me the same
I’m walking scarecrow in the rain
I have a hard time making friends
I know how those sad stories end
I was seventeen
It wasn’t supposed to be this way
And I can hardly breathe
But I can’t drink it all away
I guess the nightmare’s here to…
…Stay with me, I don’t mind
There’s nothing you can do to me this…
…Time takes me
More than you can,
You’re nothing more to me than a boogeyman
Goodbye to my small town
Where all the shops closed down
Where all the kids grew out
Now it’s a haunted house
I still think of you
You’re the wind behind my screen
Still just out of view
So every day is Halloween
No matter how old I get
I’ll still be chasing that kid
I promise I won’t forget
I promise I won’t forgive
Stay with me, I don’t bite
But then again the freaks come out at…
…Night gets me more than you do,
Remember this is my hometown…
…Two bottles empty and clean,
They help me get to sleep at night,
But night’s coming faster these days,
And I am taking shape in my own way

Angela
It’s the time of monsters
You know too well, feel it on your shoulders
And I can tell, I’ve been a ghost in my time too
Angela
Standing at the door
Wait so long just for something more
Than this world has to give
I’ve lived my life in longing too
If you sleep away, maybe you can dream
Let it fade away to the space between
Calling out behind the screen, beautiful but never seen
Let them hear you, let them hear you
Angela
You have a perfect body
The world today can’t take a damn thing from you
And it’s okay, you’re not alone on any shore
Angela
I’ve lived a life of questions
Calling out, cradled by a feeling
Telling us,
Darling there is so much more
And if you sleep away, maybe you can dream
Let it fade away to the space between
Calling out behind the screen, beautiful but never seen
Let them hear you let them hear you scream

There’s something special about living with loss
Your open wounds just seem to
Close you off
Speak into me as the night turns to day
I promise I won’t let your memory fade
(Aah Aah)
Too many years I’ve carried your voice around
It’s time I learned to use these tools that I’ve found
I make short work of them
Unlike any other
Hell hath no fury like a dead boy’s mother
(It’s a crying shame)
You aren’t here to see it
(Killing in the name)
Dealin’ with the grievin’
(Now I’m gone away)
Brown eyes turn to black
I know just loving you won’t bring you back
They couldn’t just respect your memory
This cynical shit just k-k-kills m-m-me
I cooked your favorite
For your birthday
Look what they’ve done to you
I promise that I’ll make them pay
(It’s a crying shame)
My hands can’t stop shaking
(Like a fever dream)
Take me over in the waking hours
(Now I’m gone away)
I’d die a thousand deaths if it would bring you back
But I know this world don’t work like that
