Buried Alive

Black suit, and a black tie
Both are signs, that say goodbye
 
Why did you leave?  
So many people miss you, and they want you back  
Does that mean nothing to you?
Maybe it's better that your gone  
 
It's just me staring at this casket  
Tears of regret, fear and anger  
Warm rain  
Perhaps God cries as well today  
 
Was it society that killed this part of me?  
The cloak of kindness I wore is gone  
Dead
Stripped from my righteous back
Only to be put in a grave  
 
A part of me died today
It was buried deep within my heart  
Instead of flowers in the casket  
Joy was thrown, along with love  
Laughter tossed, mixed with smiles
 
Welcome to my one man funeral  
I'm the only one who showed  
Maybe it's for the best  
I'm the only one who knew me
