Buried in Light

One step forward always another week
Today we lay in the past
Swallow the invisible
Clutching and crashing
Night sweats and chest on fire
Please may I have another?
Pale, bloated, tired
This is me, a fermented body
Clutching and crashing
Here forever
Clutching and crashing
This will never happen
Buried in light
As we knew him
Buried in light
His flat eyes
Buried in light
As we knew him
Buried in light
Lost to time
Swollen organs
Bursting out of the body
Draped in front of kin
Thought you should know
Clutching and crashing
Here forever
Clutching and crashing
This will never happen
The man covered in ash
Relieves you from this existence
Pulls the sheet over your head
And leads you into
Buried in light
As we knew him
Buried in light
His flat eyes
Hang our heads
In protest, we remember
To say we were shocked
Would be a lie
Clutching and crashing
Here forever
Clutching and crashing
This will never happen
