Bury Me With My Chain

🎤 [Intro – 4 Bars, warm and moody with ad-libs]

🎵

Yeah… if I don’t wake up tomorrow…

Don’t cry too long, baby…

Just bury me clean…

Bury me with my chain…

🎵

🎤 [Verse 1 – 8 Bars, soft and melodic]

🎵

This chain ain't gold, it's pain I earned

Every link’s a story from a love that burned

You kissed my neck where it used to lay

Now it’s all I got when you walked away

I slept in boots, I prayed in sin

Still wore that chain when the storm blew in

If I go now, don’t fix my name

Let ‘em know I died still wearin’ that flame

🎵

🎤 [Chorus – 8 Bars, smooth R&B-style hook with country soul]

🎵

Bury me with my chain, don’t take it off

That’s where I held every time I got lost

Ain’t just shine, it’s a piece of me

Where I hid my hurt, where I kept my peace

Wrap it tight ‘round this chest of mine

Let it glow when they lower me down in time

Don’t bring flowers, don’t speak my shame

Just bury me, babe… with my chain

🎵

🎤 [Verse 2 – 8 Bars, layered harmonies optional]

🎵

I gave you trust with a fragile grip

You gave me truth with a poison kiss

Still I wear it like a badge of love

Like the dirt on boots I’ll never scrub

This chain caught tears when I couldn’t cry

Froze like steel when you told that lie

If I’m gone, just don’t explain

Let this chain speak all my pain

🎵

🎤 [Bridge – 4 Bars, vocal runs + ambient reverb]

🎵

They say pride can weigh you down…

But it’s all I got when you’re not around

Put me low or let me float away

Just don’t let ‘em touch what I wore every day

🎵

---

🎤 [Final Chorus – 8 Bars, slow and soulful]

🎵

Bury me with my chain, let it shine at night

So the ones I lost can find my light

Don’t tell lies, don’t clean my name

I lived too raw to ever fake the pain

Lay me back where the dirt feels right

Let that chain wrap tight, hold me through the night

No need for words, don’t sing no praise

Just bury me slow… with my chain
