“Buried Alive” starts off Get Scared’s third studio album Demons with a veritable bang. Jam-packed with screaming vocals every other verse, the track describes lead singer Nicholas Matthews' feeling of utter helplessness, trapped between his past mistakes and an inevitable descent.
[Intro]
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Left dead again and nobody cares
Carved out my dignity and left in despair
You know I gave it all, embraced the fall
I sewed myself together just to crumble from the pressure
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
