Buried Alive

Let me tell you a narrative of a few individuals

Who cancel everything in sight

They wait while holding their breath at every moment

Just to see you cry

They cling onto your mistakes

To justify you ain't whom you seem like

They set a bar so high to reach

And wait for you to die.

No way, don't let me, stowaway

This may be my time but I don't want to go away.

Crush me from my path, end it all at last

Time is nothing but a hallucination you wouldn't last

And I would be the one to pass

Through the bridge to the last

It's almost ludacris but who am I to laugh?

Oh, Lord! Save me,

These demons have latched to me lately

And I won't be able to fight maybe

Cause these critics are lashing out daily.

Kill my hopes, kill my dreams

But you would never kill me

If I'm too overcomplicated, then let me be precise

Throw me in the grave and bury me alive.

But that wouldn't be the end, I'd crawl up from the dead

No matter what you say, mercy won't be paid

My legacy would ruin you, I promise you that

Cause these words will be burned on your back.

Oppressors and inhumane, make a deal with the Satan

They say is pain is gain but sometimes in vain

It would contain no name, no fame

Laying alone in the rain, nothing would remain,

No one to complain, going insane, but the truth is

You would endure again.

Somebody save me from myself

I am my own enemy dragging me to hell

If I'm too overcomplicated, then let me be precise

Throw me in the grave and bury me alive.
