Buried Alive

Once upon a nightmare, once upon a time
You were running from temptation, you got lost
And found that you don't belong to anybody
You're all the same, just another number
Cross it out whenever you don't behave

Yeah
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 that nightmare, once upon a time
Running from tomorrow, you got lost
And found 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 the 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
