Bury Me in the Corner

(It'll get me, it'll get me)

First a whisper

Then a song

That's gone on

Much too long

It's a backhoe

That's reversing

A jackhammer

Lurching

(Bury me)

Bury it in the corner

Set apart from all the rest

(Let me sleep)

Let me sleep in silence, finally

Let the weather wear away my name

(It'll get me, it'll get me)

It's a tilt

At my ear

From the horseman

Of death

Why do we argue

With invisible men

We should walk among

Wildflower fields instead

With a breeze

On my skin

And a squint

In the sun

Do I turn my back

On the waves as they crash

While the world rattles on

From the barrel of a gun

(Bury me)

Bury me in the corner

Daffodils across my chest

(Let me sleep)

Let me sleep in silence, finally

In the grass from whence I came

(It'll get me, it'll get me)

It's the last

Argument

Pressed against

Chain link fence

I direct my quiet

Like a stone from the dock

As a heavenward cry

For the ears of the hawks

Notify

Like, and subscribe

To the ambition

To be kind

Don't we appear without knowing

How we get there

Do we disappear

With a reason in mind?

Ahhooooahaaaoooaoaoahh
