[hyper-modern production with clear vocals, no autotune, Dolby Atmos mix, high-fidelity, high-definition audio and wide stereo] [Verse 1] I built these walls from quiet screams Stacked each brick with memories No one asked, so I never spoke Now silence fits me like a cloak I locked the doors and swallowed the key Became a stranger even to me Smiled on cue, said I was fine But I was rotting the whole time [Pre-Chorus] It's safer here beneath the ground Where no one asks, and I can’t be found [Chorus] I buried myself alive Wrapped in secrets just to survive Every scar, a hidden shrine To all the truths I left behind I shut the world out, sealed the pain But now I'm screaming through the chains I buried myself alive And no one even said goodbye [Verse 2] I’m the ghost behind my eyes Trained to flinch and smile in time You called it strength, I called it fear Disappearing year by year I made my skin a battlefield Told myself that time would heal But all it did was numb the sting Now I can’t feel anything [Pre-Chorus] So I learned to sink instead of swim Better drowning than let you in [Chorus] I buried myself alive Wrapped in secrets just to survive Every scar, a hidden shrine To all the truths I left behind I shut the world out, sealed the pain But now I'm screaming through the chains I buried myself alive And no one even said goodbye [Bridge] Would you dig me up if you knew the truth? Or leave me down here, just like they do? I was never loud enough to be saved Just a name you all erased [Final Chorus] I buried myself alive Hoping someone might recognize But I went quiet, played the part Now I’m just echoes in the dark I shut myself out, swallowed the key And now I don’t know how to breathe I buried myself alive... And forgot how it feels to rise
