Lynn Grassette - Burying The Dead

I taped up the box I laid you to rest in.
Beautifully too, it looked like a parcel
Anyone would be anxious to open.
But you laid in there silent as stone
And I already know, your eyes will stay shut,
My heart will stay burnt,
Everything will stay,
Taped inside the box
I buried in the ground.
