Let me find the way that I can make do.
Without circumstance, without follow through.
A man in desperation can't trust a troubled mind.
I'm building an empire, say I'm wrong.
I don't mind if it's all against one.
No room for weakness, I'll be gone forever.

Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck.
I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget.
I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away.
What will the children sing, what will the children sing,
When I'm dead and buried?
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.

I can't fight it.
I can't fight it.
I can't fight it.
I've slipped through the cracks.

I hold nothing back.

Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck.
I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget.
I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away.
What will the children sing, what will the children sing,
When I'm dead and buried?
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.

Never thought it'd be easy cause it's not if it's worth to have.
It'll pass you by. You have a choice, be your own person, have your own voice.

So let's set it off!

Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck.
I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget.
I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away.
What will the children sing, what will the children sing,
When I'm dead and buried?
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
