Buried Alive
Get Scared Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Torch me with matches let the damage be done
Rose from the ashes like the set of the sun
We cast away our past mistakes
Without a way back home
And we're hopeless buried alive in what we say
We've made mistakes along the way
You should know we're ready to die put on display
And we will take this to our grave
Well I can't forget the night you came to me
With tragic eyes and bloodshot dreams
We're hopeless buried alive and in dismay
And we will take this to our grave
Left dead again and nobody cares
Carved out my dignity and left in dispare
You know I gave it all embarrassed the fall
I sewed myself together just to slit the throat of pressure
And we're hopeless buried alive in what we say
We've made mistakes along the way
You should know we're ready to die put on display
And we will take this to our grave
Well I can't forget the night you came to me
With tragic eyes and bloodshot dreams
We're hopeless buried alive and in dismay
And we will take this to our grave
Let me die
No I'm not going to make this right
So just bury us all alive
I'll withstand all my chances and take what is mine
And we're hopeless buried alive in what we say
We've made mistakes along the way
You should know we're ready to die put on display
And we will take this to our grave
Well I can't forget the night you came to me
With tragic eyes and bloodshot dreams




We're hopeless buried alive and in dismay
And we will take this to our grave
