Buried Alive

[Verse 1]
Once upon a nightmare, once upon a time
You're running from temptation
You got lost and found that you don't belong to anybody
You're all the same, just another number
Cross it out whenever you don't behave
Yes, someone get the doctor, he knows what to do
Throw some bones and mumble, the devil's inside of you
It might be contagious, it might change the plan
Get back in your tiny boxes
Even if you can't, we say you can

[Pre-Chorus]
Join the congregation
Everybody's got to get in line and
We never justify, the choir sings a never-ending lie

[Chorus]
When you thought you were free
You didn't need a reason, no reason to survive
As the big door closes and you're waiting for the nail
Somebody tell the world you're buried alive

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Once upon that nightmare, once upon a time
Running from tomorrow
You got lost and found that another day has turned to ashes
Been taken by the wind
Frozen seeds of sorrow, never to begin

[Pre-Chorus]
Join the celebration
Everybody's got to get in line and
We never justify, the choir sings the never-ending lie

[Chorus]
When you thought you were free
You did not need a reason, no reason to survive
As the big door closes and you're waiting for the nail
Somebody tell the world you're buried alive

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
One more nightmare, just one more time
Join the congregation, everybody get in line
Celebration, the choir sings a lie
As you call the hammer falls
No one hears you cry, "I'm buried alive!"
