Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take the time just to listen
When the voices screaming are much too loud
Take a look in the distance
Try and see it all
Chances are that you might find
That we share a common discomfort now
I feel I'm walking a fine line
Tell me only if it's real
[Verse 2]
Still I'm on my way (On and on it goes)
Vacant hope to take
[Verse 3]
Hey, I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed, grim as ever
Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile, the mice endure the wheel
Real as ever
And it seems I've been buried alive
[Verse 4]
I walked the fields through the fire
Taking steps until I found solid ground
Followed dreams reaching higher
Couldn't survive the fall
Much has changed since the last time
And I feel a little less certain now
You know I jumped at the first sign
Tell me only if it's real
[Verse 5]
Memories seem to fade (On and on it goes)
Wash my view away
[Verse 6]
Hey, I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed, grim as ever
Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile, the mice endure the wheel
Real as ever
And I'm chained like a slave, trapped in the dark
Slammed all the locks, death calls my name
And it seems I've been buried alive
[Verse 7]
Take you down now, burn it all out
Throw you all around, get your fuckin' hands off me
What's it feel like? Took the wrong route
Watch it fall apart now you're knockin' at the wrong gate
For you to pay the toll, a price for you alone
The only deal you'll find, I'll gladly take your soul
[Verse 8]
While it seems sick, sober up quick
Psycho lunatic crushing you with hands of fate
Shame to find out, when it's too late
But you're all the same trapped inside inferno awaits
Evil thoughts can hide, I'll help release the mind
I'll peel away the skin, release the dark within
[Verse 9]
This is now your life, strike you from the light
This is now your life, die, buried alive
[Verse 10]
This is now your life (What's it feel like?)
Strike you from the light (Let me take in your soul)
This is now your life (What's it feel like?)
Die, buried alive (Let me take in your soul)
[Verse 11]
This is now your life
Die, buried alive
