lyrics

I have buried a corpse in the ground
It lies deep and may never be found
I’ve forgotten who it is that I killed
Have no memory of the deed itself

Keep the picture of us in that funny frame

In the dead of the night I went out
Found a place where no-one was about
My hands hurt from digging so fast
When the soil swallowed up my past

Keep the picture of us in that funny frame

I kept silent, laid low for some time
Carried the shame and avoided the light
Couldn’t risk looking you in the eye
Couldn’t break the shell though many times I tried

Keep the picture of us in that funny frame

Now they are building a road in that place
There’s no telling of the dread I face
When the bones stick out from the ground
Will the perpetrator finally stand proud

Keep the picture of us in that funny frame
Because I will never be the same
