You were the first one to see me The first to believe me The first one to reach in and find out There's something there And I was so unprepared And now our lives flash before us A verse then a chorus A bridge takes us somewhere else Where do we go from there? We are so unprepared I just have one wish It ends with the roses There's only one way we're going And I just hope I go first So you can bury me under the garden Feed me back into the earth (For what it's worth) They ask to intercede and hold dominion over time Make me listen to their words like they directed the divine I sense the self righteousness as we are forced to close our eyes Protest now is just pearls before the swine So much I don't know, but the cynicism's ringing true The sickness got me and there's nothing else that we can do Instead of fantasy, fears or denial You can just put me in the ground And plant some flowers all around So I can live Inch by inch Pushing up daisies There's only one way we're going And I just hope I go first So you can bury me under the garden Feed me back into the earth (For what it's worth) There's only one way we're going And I just hope I go first There's only one way we're going Feed me back into the earth Back into the earth
