Mnemonic Advice - Cemetery

Went to my impending hole in the ground
And I rubbed some dirt on my hands
I held a rock with a baseball grip
And threw it as far as I can
I wanna be a child
Pure and young and bold
And if divine light holds me hostage at night
I'll try to escape through the back door
Fear can hold me captive
It's deadlier than death
As I read the names of my relatives
I tightly hold my breath
Hold my breath
Sometimes I think about my body
Stripped of all it's skin
Well last night I was shaking in the shower
When I pulled out some gray hair again
I wanna live in the city
I wanna visit Japan
I wanna lay on every beach and descend into the sand
But fear just holds me captive
It's deadlier than death
As I read the names of my relatives
I tightly hold my breath
Hold my breath
Now I'm wound around your finger
Like I oughta be but I don't wanna be
As the feeling just lingers
And your fingers twirl
I wanna walk the world
I wanna stand on the moon
You can come but not too soon
I'll only beg for time to hear the morning bell chime
Then I'll join you in the ground
As I lay there lost and found
