'Tween the silence and the darkness, in a place that shouldn't be.
There's a coffin buried six foot deep, and in that box is me.
There's a horrible sensation, when I realize.
I'm paying double for my sins, they've buried me alive.
I don't know how many, threw dirt and I don't care.
But I know that I've been buried alive and I'm running out of air.
Maybe I've just lost my mind, maybe I've lost myself.
Maybe this is where I belong, maybe this is hell.
(Chs)-Suffocation, terrified
Hallucinating, haven't died.
There ain't no way to survive
Cause I've been buried, buried alive.
The sun shines after midnight, and it rains when I'm awake.
A lie becomes reality, the truth is my mistake.
I'm buried and forgotten, there's noway to escape.
The undertaker smiles as he walks across my grave.
(Chs)-Suffocation, terrified
Hallucinating, haven't died.
Contemplating, suicide
Cause I've been buried, buried alive.
Buried Alive!
