Die With Me

from Funeral Psalms by PM Buys

/

lyrics

I asked for your fear in life
Expecting rattlesnakes or knives
You said to die
To die alone, and into the pillow you cried

Die with me
Drowned in the water
Skin salted and covered
A casket of seaweed
Die with me

I picked my questions carefully
Learned you fear monotony
The weekday brings
Ripened to wrinkles through days of settling

You can work with me
Early day
Coffee made
Our forty hour week
You can work with me

I’ll work and arrive punctually
But you know I always yearned to be
A folk singer
Will we still lay naked and sing out Aura Lee?
By the lampshade in our night, we’ll croon most audibly

Sing with me
Let your red lips trill
Till the room is filled
With our drunken harmonies
Sing with me

Would you spend your life with me
Wrestling these types of things
Because I want you
Take me mama, I am yours to keep

Love with me
In our bed
With the summer sweat
Entangled blissfully
Love with me.

Those elements, twisted with thorough classical guitar training and intense lyricism, combine for a sound entire his own. ... more
