Buried Alive

(Verse 1) (Arrangement starts with a clean, chorused electric guitar, heavy drum beat) The world outside is just a fading hum These four walls of static have left me numb I'm driving down a road that only leads to yesterday Rewinding every word, replaying everything you had to say (Verse 2) (The bass guitar enters with a heavy, steady pulse, locking in with the kick drum) The clock upon the wall is ticking like a time bomb in the quiet room I'm suffocating slowly in the shadows of a sudden doom I try to close my eyes but the noise starts bleeding in A wa against a phantom that I know I'll never win (Pre-Chorus) (The drums start to build with a driving snare, guitars edge into a light overdrive) Can't you hear screaming in this silent space? Trying to claw my way back to better place I can feel the pressure, it's beginning to break Tell me how much more of this my chest can take? (Chorus) (The massive explosion of sound-heavy, distorted wall of guitars and crashing symbols) Cause I'm buried alive inside the noise of my own head! Chasing down the monsters under every word you said! I build a prison out of air, I lock myself inside No where left to run and there is no where left to hide! Yeah, I'm digging up the graveyard just to see what I can find Buried alive inside my mind! (Verse 3) (The music drops back down to the clean guitar and driving bass, keeping the rhythm moving) Another hour passes and the room is getting cold Fighting with a shadow that I cannot even hold I'm looking for the exit but I'm locked inside the maze Counting up the minutes, wasting all my days (Pre-Chorus) (The drums build up again, tension rising fast) Can't you hear me screaming in this silent space? Trying to claw my way back to a better place I can feel the pressure, it's beginning to break Tell me how much more of this my chest can take! (Chorus) (The full anthemic wall of sound returns) Cause I'm buried alive inside the noise of my own head! Chasing down the monsters under every word you said! I build a prison out of air, I lock myself inside No where left to run and there is no where left to hide! Yeah, I'm digging up the graveyard just to see what I can find Buried alive inside my mind! (Bridge) (The instruments strip back to just a heavy, distorted guitar chug and a pounding floor to, vocals start intense and grit-heavy building to a scream) They said "just let it go", like it's an easy thing to do Like I can just untie the knots and pull myself right through But the thread is tangled up inside the fabric of my brain And every time I pull, it only tightens up the pain (Vocals break into a raw yell) Let me out! (Guitar Solo) (A roaring, melodic, high-gain electric guitar Solo over the driving rhythm section, channeling an epic 3 doors down anthem climax) Cause I'm buried alive inside the noise of my own head! Chasing down the monsters under every word you said! I build a prison out of air, I lock myself inside No where left to run and there is no where left to hide! Yeah, I'm digging up the graveyard just to see what I can find Buried alive inside my mind! Buried alive! (Outro) The sun is coming up, the shadows start to fade away another sleepless night bleeds into another day... With all the weight of what's behind my eyes... Buried alive... Yeah, buried alive inside my mind Buried alive
