Buried Alive

[Intro] Shadows fall, no escape tonight Breathing slow in artificial light [Verse] I walk the edges of a fractured truth Walls closing in, no room to move Words like chains, tightening around Promises hollow, echo without sound Can't find the sun in this maze of doubt Every step forward just circles out Trust is a ghost haunting these halls I reach for someone, but no one calls [Pre-Chorus] It’s getting hard to tell what’s real Heavy weight I can't conceal [Chorus] I’m sinking deeper under the surface Caught in the ruins of what you said Truth twisted, I’m lost in the purpose Let me breathe, let me lift my head Daylight buried and hope denied Still fighting for air inside [Verse] Cold confession, every look a blade Fabric of honesty slowly decayed No more reflections I recognize Just painted smiles and clever disguise Even my voice sounds foreign and strange Tired of playing ever-changing games Locked in a silence built out of fear I scream the truth but no one will hear [Pre-Chorus] These walls are built on every lie Still I claw for a clearer sky [Chorus] I’m sinking deeper under the surface Caught in the ruins of what you said Truth twisted, I’m lost in the purpose Let me breathe, let me lift my head Daylight buried and hope denied Still fighting for air inside [Bridge] If I tear down the stories you spun Would I stand or come undone? Searching for light through these faults and scars All I want is to break apart This prison of shadows, aching and wide Can I rise or will I hide? [Instrumental] [Chorus] I’m sinking deeper under the surface Caught in the ruins of what you said Truth twisted, I’m lost in the purpose Let me breathe, let me lift my head Daylight buried and hope denied Still fighting for air inside [Outro] Beneath the weight, I brace for morning Shadows breaking into mourning Maybe someday I’ll reach the sky And leave these lies to die
