This song started out as a Techno beat instrumental in 2016, before being remixed into a Metal song for my 2020 Blackgaze inspired album/EP. This vocal version of the Metal version was made using digital singers, and its lyrics are about my deteriorating mental health due to PTSD caused by an attemp...
[Chorus]
In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb, I'll die
[Verse 1]
Deep mental scars
My mind will never heal
I try to live
But life was taken from me
Even in my youth
I felt so old and frail
Through so much abuse
My flesh feels like a cage
[Chorus]
In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb, I'll die
[Verse 2]
It nеver stops
Memories keeps mе awake
Silence is pain
I need to drown out the voices
On my worst days
I hit myself so hard
In a panicked state
Triggered by intense self-loathing
[Bridge]
I hate myself so much
I can't convince myself I didn't deserve it
Even when I know it's not the case
Intrusive thoughts haunts me
I don't know how I'll escape
[Ukulele Solo]
Set me free
[Outro]
In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb, I'll die
In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb, I'll die
