Buried Alive
Feed Her to the Sharks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

But how can
Something so beautiful
Walk like the living dead?
Buried alive
Makes me fucking sick

I saw the promise in your eyes
Trapped inside
Gave my empathy
To bring you back to life
But you destroyed yourself
As you bow from grace
You waste another day
Pretending life will fall into place
Stop regressing, descending
Going back to your old fucking ways
Back to the grave

Time and time and time again
Why did you lie to yourself
And your friends
You're pathetic
How can you look at yourself
In the mirror?

Time and time and time again
I brought you back to life
Still you betray I will not forget this
Listen here you fuck
You're full of shit

But how can
Something so beautiful
Walk like the living dead?
Buried alive
Makes me fucking sick

Now kiss goodbye
To what you could have been
You could be anything
Many things
Makes me fucking sick

I saw the promise in your eyes
But you're blind
And you will always play the victim
For the rest of your life
Engulfed by the flames as you fall from grace
You're lying through your teeth
And now your wings shall burn from your act of deception

How can you look in the mirror
Without you things are so much clearer
How does it feel to be buried alive
You prick
There is nothing you can do to survive this

But how can
Something so beautiful
Walk like the living dead?
Buried alive
Makes me fucking sick
Now kiss goodbye to what you could have been
You could be anything, many things
Makes me fucking sick
