Lyrics

Not Dead Enough to Bury
words and music by Gabrielle Louise

If I was on your mind
Would you shut it off like a light?
Would you lock it out like the night?
If I was on

If you were ever moved by me
Would you shake it off like a dream?
Would you burn it back like a weed?
If you were moved

When our hearts are
Sorted in chambers
Organized in
Neat little cages

Let your perspective
Interconnect, and
They’ll be nobody
Left unaffected

Cause darling when your soul awoke
I saw you crush it out like a smoke
I heard you laugh it off like a joke
When your soul awoke

And all your fantasies
You shot em down like casualties
You spit ‘em out like seeds
Shoved ‘em back with a drink
And a drink, and a drink...

Still they circle round you like rain
Shudder like a hundred passing trains
Oh, you can drag this to the grave
But everyday it’s heavier to carry.
Or you can watch it all ignite
The very moment you decide
You haven’t really been alive,
Your just not dead enough to bury.


When our hearts are
Sorted in chambers
Organized in
Neat little cages


Let your perspective
Interconnect, and
They’ll be nobody
Left unaffected

When our hearts are
(Circling like rain)
Sorted in chambers
(like a hundred passing trains)
Organized in neat little cages
(And everyday they’re heavier to carry)

Let your perspective
(Watch it all ignite)
Interconnect, and
(The very moment you decide)
Goddamn, you’re not alive,

You’re not dead enough to bury
(Not yet, not yet!)
You’re not dead enough to bury.
