MAYCOMB LYRICS

"Bury Me At Sea"

Don’t flatter yourself tonight
Cos I’m not your first choice
But hey, you’re not mine
Come on, come on, you couldn’t hold it back if you tried
I’ve tried so many times
I guess I just need reminding why I stopped the first time

You couldn’t write this kind of comedy
But oh, I’ve said it all and more
And I’m still talking myself into the floor
When I’m done throwing words up and you head for the door
I’ll kiss goodbye to tragedy

Cos you’re like a siren
And the sea bed is where you’re singing me to sleep
But so far this sinking seems ok
The water is dark enough to hide it all away

Well it’s been a while since I’ve felt free of this façade
And maybe I get what I deserve, but this seems harsh
Those things you never see coming always hit you twice as hard
So I left all hope for dead and buried it so far away
I pray it’s over but I know you won’t let it be

Cos you’re like a siren
And the sea bed is where you’re singing me to sleep
And so far this sinking seems ok
But water won’t wash this mess away

And now all I want is to stay as we are right now
Before you take it all away
I’m counting down the days
And it still gives me the shakes
But I’m not so sure that’ll ever change
Or how I’ll escape in the wreckage you’re making of me

Cos you’re just a siren
And the sea bed is where you’re waiting to sing me to sleep
But I kissed goodbye to tragedy
You’re singing me to sleep…
