Don’t let them bury me in a dress.
Don’t let them speak a stranger’s name,
Or repeat stories I told to make myself palatable.
On the occasion of my death.
And all the comforts I knew amongst friends,
And all the secrets we shared in hushed whispers,
Make them mourn all of me,
Every part they love and hate.
Don’t let them bury me a stranger.”
