Buried Alive - Kyle Davis

In the lion’s den, the quiet men

Sleep next to their fears

Praying not to wake them

But morning makes the disappear

And it feels like

Something has gone wrong

And he reaches up

For what he held for so long

I will not be

Buried alive under this mountain of emotion

I will not be

Saddled by the blame

There and back again

Trying to make amends

Of a feeling that I fall for left me hallow

Losing lay down your only sorrow

It’s the jester and the just

The gambler and the game

Leave it to the rest

To gather what remains

I will not be

Buried alive under this mountain of emotion

I will not be

Saddled by the blame indigent to devotion

Why must I defend the way I feel

Just to change, it’s not treason

Inspite of all the things that I was told

There is not always a reason

I will not be

Buried alive under this mountain of emotion

I will not be

Saddled by the blame indigent to devotion

He said, «I will not be»

Then she said, «I will not be»

He said, «I will not be»

Buried alive
