lyrics

Stuck dreaming about the day
When all my skies weren't tinted black and gray
And I wasn't trapped
In this December state of mind
Imprisoned in my timeline
Locked in a place and time my
Thoughts were a much more pleasant place to be in those days

So bury me in your backyard
And promise you won't go too far
Cause I'm better off (better off) dead than without you
So bury me in your backyard
And promise you won't go too far
Cause I'm better off (better off) dead than without you

Caught me slipping
Reminiscing
Inside my head you miss me
But deep down I know you don't ever
think about me
At least I'm betting probably
It's been forever since I've crossed your mind
And yet here I sit
Locked in this pit
A despair of my own dumb ass design

So bury me in your backyard
And promise you won't go too far
Cause I'm better off (better off) dead than without you
So bury me in your backyard
And promise you won't go too far
Cause I'm better off (better off) dead than without you

So toss the
Dirt on my face
Don't think I will
Be leaving this place
Six feet under
But never too far
Always in your grasp
The beck to your call

Can't stop picking at holes in my heart
But what do you do when the scars define who you are
Define
Who you are
So I'll pick and scratch until there's nothing left
Until there's nothing left but one big scar

So bury me in your backyard
And promise you won't go too far
Cause I'm better off (better off) dead than without you
So bury me in your backyard
And promise you won't go too far
Cause I'm better off (better off) dead than without you

Better off
Better off dead
Better off
Bury me oh bury me
Better off
Better off
Better off
Better off dead
