Buried Alive



                              1.
Death permeates the walls
Waking me
Black in these stalls
Where can I be
No room to move
The final pin
The black walls smooth
Closing in
Am I dead?
I can not tell
In my head
In my hell
I take a Breath
The final one
No air left
My life is done
My eyes frost up
In black I dive
I drink death's cup
Buried Alive
                                 2.
Buried Alive
I drink death's cup
In black I dive
My eyes frost up
My life is done
No air left
The final one
I take a Breath
In my hell
In my head
I can not tell
Am I dead?
Closing in
The black walls smooth
The final pin
No room too move
Where can I be
Black in these stalls
Waking me
Death permeates the walls
