I guess you never really know when
In the roses, poisons growing
Went away no teeth were showing
End of May I lost it all
So you were laid to rest with your possessions
A written list, all your confessions
Signed and sealed but never sent
Why don’t you wait for this to die
Before you, bury me, bury me
In your memory, memory
Won’t you wait for this to die
Before you bury me, bury me
In guilty melody
So I walk alone
My paving your stone
I wish I meant I wish you well
Your pictures, my frame
Feels bitter, seems sane
I wish I meant I wish you well
In the deepest and darkest place lies a wreath
With a gravestone on top, and your name underneath
Why don’t you wait for this to die
Before you, bury me, bury me
In your memory, memory
Won’t you wait for this to die
Before you bury me, bury me
In guilty melody
In the deepest and darkest place lies a wreath
With a gravestone on top, and your name underneath
It reads «here lies the wolf, overthrown by the sheep»
As I turned ‘round to leave, I swore I heard you speak
Why don’t you wait for this to die
Before you, bury me, bury me
In your memory, memory
Won’t you wait for this to die
Before you bury me, bury me
In guilty melody
Wait for this to die
When you put my heart on the shelf
Truth is you buried yourself
