"Dearly Deceased" lyrics

My world above
Is buried underneath
You clutch your words
Like you clench your teeth
So spit it out
Wake up, cling to the surface
You hold your head
Like you're making a difference
What will it take
To wipe away the memories?
Forget my face
I'm everything you'll never be
Everything you'll never be
Now watch me bleed

As you lay me down to sleep
Every word you've said to me
Is nothing but a memory
A memory

Bury your pain
As you commit this body
To a shallow grave
Can you find, in your heart
The right words to speak
While you deliver my eulogy?
Tell me, now, where were you in life?
Only in death do you see me
A fading memory

As you lay me down to sleep
Every word you've said to me
Is nothing but a memory
A memory

I've always known there'd come a day
We'd go our separate ways
I never thought we'd end this way

Hold me closer
As my empty chest
In this full casket is lowered
I was always worth it
But you never saw it
You'll never have me back
I'd rather drown with the rats
Drown with the rats

As you lay me down to sleep
Every word you've said to me
Is nothing but a memory
A memory

I've always known there'd come a day
We'd go our separate ways
I never thought we'd end this way
We'd end this way

We'd end this way
We'd end this way
