Bury the bodies all in roses,
Crimson flowers bloomed and died
You held me for a moment
I didn't make it but I tried
Bury my body in the autumn
So I may sleep through winters cold
Kiss my lips, still and quiet
And know I shall not grow old
Bury her body in the sunrise
So she may see only the light
Let the fires consume her whole
In her sweet eternal night
Bury our ghosts all inside you
So our hearts may find their peace
Follow us into the ether
To a deep and dreamless sleep
Bury yourself far out in the desert
Where your bones will not be found
And remember, a million miles away
Where I lay beneath the ground
Bury me beneath the roses
Bury me before my time
Think only of what we could've been
Not of how I didn't survive
