I see the writing on the walls
It's clear they're about to fall
Lights flicker on beneath the veil
Synapses burst and I exhale
Alive but I'm a life so frail
A ship thats just come in to set sail
Again
Into a sea 
Of sweet uncertainty 

The ground started shaking
The core all but aching
As it goes on making
Fools out of kings, all their things for the taking

I... Oh I can barely breathe
Please god, please don't ever leave 
I can't rebuild on the ashes of that debris 
So I'm askin' you to bury me
Oh bury me

We all came for the dance
Knowing it would never last
Caught up in the moments heat
And driven by some wild beat
And we believed that we could cheat death
How did we live with this ignorance in our heads
As though
We made the rules
Like we were anything but just tools

We were just play things
Our usefulness fading 
Soon to be forsaken
What made us live's just an end in the making

I... Oh I can barely breathe
Please god, please don't ever leave 
I can't rebuild on the ashes of that debris 
So I'm askin' you to bury me
Oh bury me

You were Gods final draft of perfect sketches
And me, I came out rough on the edges
You gave me strength to stand out from the wretches 
You gave me wings now I'm coming down from these ledges

But you don't know that I exist 
Amidst the pain that I emit 
I bled my soul in hopes you heard me
But in the rivers not a drop of mercy
And now here at the end
I find myself alone again
Still fighting just to breathe
On my lips you burned your name
You reached right into my veins
Til my heart was on your sleeve
And I don't think that you even know
The husk that you left, barren and so cold
Withered at your feet 

Ohh God, I'm asking you to bury me
Please, end my misery 
I can't live without you and can't die until you see
That's why I need you, I need you to bury me
Oh bury me..
Bury me
