Dead Weight Lyrics by Ben Eales

A Matter Of Love And Death

2022

Bury me in velvet, but never in a robe
Or maybe in a hoodie, but never in a throw
And one last thing, before you have to go
Check my coffin for corpses, I wanna be alone

I don't care what they're all gonna say
Every syllable is just as fake
Never knew me, so they fabricate
Singing praise about my venture to a gate
Let me dance with my fate
I promise I'll give good old Grim a handshake
The lies make me float at the bottom of the lake
Might as well chop off some dead weight

Bury me in kindness, or maybe just don't
Who even needs a funeral, a gathering of people who feel like they have to be broken Apart
From the start, hold me dear to their heart
They've only talked to me twice, but why did we have to part
Turn all of the lights off and look across the shore
No hope left anymore

I don't care what they're all gonna say
Every syllable is just as fake
Never knew me, so they fabricate
Singing praise about my venture to a gate
Let me dance with my fate
I promise I'll give good old Grim a handshake
The lies make me float at the bottom of the lake
Might as well chop off some dead weight

Bury me in honesty
I never got a lot
Everyone at these pews has a vengeance, a secret, a fear that they fear will unlock
Bury me in something I look good in
I can look pretty in a box
I may as well leave a good impression
Before an eternal door traps me in with the rot
