Bury Our Friends Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tucker]
Today I am stitched up and sewn
Catch me up, I got warmth in my bones
Locks 'em down you know you could throw away
I found my legs
[Verse 2: Brownstein]
Ready to climb out from under concrete
Only I get to be sickened by me
My body is merged
Can't make out the details
Why start over, give it to me
[Chorus: Tucker & Brownstein]
Exhume our idols and bury our friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
We're sick with worry
These nervous days
We live on dread in our own gilded age
[Verse 3: Tucker]
This dark world is precious to me
My scars make me breathe in so deep
My body has no need for sleep
This time around
[Verse 4: Brownstein]
Ready to fight, fight makes the stillness
Only I get to be punched by me
Your voice is a crumb it leads me from the wildness
Why start over, forget everything
[Chorus]
[Bridge: Brownstein]
Make me a headline
I wanna be that bold
Make me a spotlight
So I can see the gold
Make me a headline
I wanna feel that bold
Make me a spotlight
So I can see the gold
[Chorus]
[Outro: Tucker & Brownstein]
We speak in circles
We dance in code
Untamed and hungry
On fire and in cold
Exhume our idols and bury our friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
Today I am stitched up and sewn
Catch me up, I got warmth in my bones
Locks 'em down you know you could throw away
I found my legs
Ready to climb out from under concrete
Only I get to be sickened by me
My body is merged
Can't make out the details
Why start over, give it to me
Exhume our idols and bury our friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
We're sick with worry
These nervous days
We live on dread in our own gilded age
This dark world is precious to me
My scars make me breathe in so deep
My body has no need for sleep
This time around
Ready to fight, fight makes the stillness
Only I get to be punched by me
Your voice is a crumb it leads me from the wildness
Why start over, forget everything
Make me a headline
I wanna be that bold
Make me a spotlight
So I can see the gold
I wanna feel that bold
Make me a spotlight
So I can see the gold
We speak in circles
We dance in code
Untamed and hungry
On fire and in cold
Exhume our idols and bury our friends
We're wild and weary but we won't give in

I think it's talking about the excesses celebrities think they have to partake in when they become famous. I noticed that the first line ("Today, I am stitched, I am sewn. Patch me up, I've got want in my bones") vaguely described the process that Desmond Tiny from The Saga of Darren Shan uses to make his Little People after the people they used to be died.
