Buried Alive
Creepshow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And have you drowning in the night
When you open your eyes you will soon realize
That from this you can't hide
And as you feel your breath get short
It's breaking your will, reading your mind
This is your own demise
[chorus:]
Now it feels like I'm six feet underground
The ceiling's caving in
The walls are falling down
All around me
I'm six feet underground
So suffocated it feels like I'm buried alive
Just when you think you'll be okay
That's when you feel your body shake
All around you so cold
It's drinking your soul
And so you break
Into a panic, no control
Get to his gates and pay the toll
So helpless and scared
You just can't be prepared
That is his goal
[chorus]
