Lyrics for Buried Alive

Once upon a nightmare, once upon a time You are running from temptation, you got lost and found Yhat you don't belong to anybody, you're all the same Just another number, cross it out whenever you don't behave Someone get the doctor, he knows what to do Throw some bones and mumble, the devil's inside of you It might be contagious, it might change the plan Get back in your tiny boxes, even if you can't we say you can Join the congregation Everybody's got to get in line And we never justify The choir sings a never ending lie When you thought you were free You didn't need a reason, no reason to survive As the big door closes and you're waiting for the nail Somebody tell the world you're buried alive Once upon a nightmare, once upon a time Running from tomorrow, you got lost and found That another day has turned to ashes, been taken by the wind Frozen seeds of sorrow never to begin Join the celebration And everybody's got to get in line And we never justify The choir sings a never ending lie When you thought you were free You did not need a reason, no reason to survive As the big door closes and you're waiting for the nail Somebody tell the world you're buried alive One more nightmare, just one more time Join the congregation, everybody get in line Celebration, the choir sings a lie As you call the hammer falls No one hears you cry I'm buried alive
