[Intro]

Light of the moon, lighten the mood

Cut me loose like you know that you won’t

Like if you don’t, like if you do

Born to lose

And I can be anything anything anything

Are you committed to that? No limit to that?

If it’s meant to be meant to be meant to be

Don’t hold me back

Go on and take it from me


[Verse]

Step on the outcast and suffer the backlash

Wreckage of steadfast commitments that don't last

Butcher the punch line, a joke of a lifetime

Ending a bloodline for free

Go on and take it from me


[Chorus]

And bury me, bury me, bury me down, down, down, down

Swear to God I'm in lovе with the ground

It's all just a means of controlling the crowd, crowd, crowd, crowd

Wеll love me or hate me I'll still be around


[Bridge]

I’m a believer, with his soul crushed

Just like a fever, like a gold rush

Don’t try to pretend like you know what to do with me

Honey you wish you knew how to get through to me

Spit it out! Spit it out!

And you can be angry with me ‘cause you’re mad at yourself

But you’ll bottle it up when there’s nobody helping you

Let it out!


[Verse]

You're like a stranger to me

Nothing against you, I know what you've been through

(Don't lie to me)

It won't be an issue if it's not what you're into

(No privacy)

Bludgeoning right through as if you've been lied to

(The irony)

Forgetting what life used to be

Go on and take it from me

And bury me, bury me, bury me down, down, down, down

Swear to God I'm in love with the ground

It's all just a means of controlling the crowd, crowd, crowd, crowd

Well love me or hate me I'll still be around


[Outro]

(And take it from me)

Take it from me, take it from me

Cut me loose like you know what you mean

Just like a fever, just like a dream

Like a gold rush

Take it from me, take it from me

Will these hands of yours never be clean?

Setting the mood, setting the scene

Light of the moon, bury me
