Apparently, this song is about the period of Joel Brich’s life, the frontman of the group, when he was in depression, but still he is trying to fight demons inside him.
“I nearly died from alcohol withdrawal, which I didn’t really tell anybody” – Joel about his hard times.

[Verse 1: Joel Birch]
Bury me endlessly
Bury me endless sleep
Are we living if we’re not on the edge?
Are we living with our mind in the precipice?
Am I living if I just wanna pull the plug?
Am I living if I don’t even want to wake up?
[Pre-Chorus: Joel Birch]
I’ve had enough, I've had enough
I don’t ever want to wake up
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
Some nights I want to give up the ghost
I keep taking medication but the apathy grows
Some days I want to throw in the towel
I got no one in my corner
Will I ever get out?
Some nights I want to give up the ghost
I keep taking medication but the apathy grows
Some days I want to throw in the towel
I got no one in my corner
Will I ever get out?
[Verse 2: Joel Birch]
Bury me endlessly
Bury me, endless sleep
I am the loneliness now, I am grim and devout
To my depression, there’s no lesson that I won’t live without
You can try to impose on me the shit you know
All of it now, hopefully
[Pre-Chorus: Joel Birch]
I’ve had enough, I've had enough
I don’t ever want to wake up
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
Some nights I want to give up the ghost
I keep taking medication but the apathy grows
Some days I want to throw in the towel
I got no one in my corner
Will I ever get out?
Some nights I want to give up the ghost
I keep taking medication but the apathy grows
Some days I want to throw in the towel
I got no one in my corner
Will I ever get out?
[Bridge: Joel Birch]
I gave up the ghost
I gave up the ghost
I gave up the ghost
I gave up the ghost
So endlessly, bury me
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
Some nights I want to give up the ghost
I keep taking medication but the apathy grows
Some days I want to throw in the towel
I got no one in my corner
Will I ever get out?
Some nights I want to give up the ghost
I keep taking medication but the apathy grows
Some days I want to throw in the towel
I got no one in my corner
Will I ever get out?
