about

I imagined Willie's ghost singing this song to his father just before Willie experiences the "matterlightblooming effect" in the chapel. Willie has just found out that he is dead by haunting his grieving father--who is close to despair due to the loss of his son.

lyrics

Bury Me (Willie’s Song)
(©2019 Anders/O’Bitz)

I hated to go
Your head so low
Your love I know

Ah to free both our souls
You have to let go
In time must be so

Bury me
In that dark box of wood
It’s a lie
Let that go

Bury me
With the love that I know
It keeps me alive
Say goodbye
Bury me

I know now it’s so
Time to let go
I’m first to know

Ah free both our souls
By letting me go
By loving me so

Bury me
In that dark box of wood
That’s a lie
Let that go

Bury me
With the love that I know
It keeps me alive
Say goodbye
Bury me

Break

Bury me
In that dark box of wood
That’s a lie
Let that go

Bury me
Your love is my soul
It keeps me alive
Say goodbye

Bury me
Let me go
You keep me alive
You’re my soul

Bury me
With the love I know
While you keep me alive
Let me go
Bury me
