Bury Me Alive

I feel it’s a change but we
Both dealt with it different
You started running away and I
Was left with decisions to
Make Moved our apartment into a
New part of town
Still surrounded with memories like the
Sheets and the couch
I swear the puppy can feel it
He ain’t been eatin’ or sleepin’
We both just lay on the carpet now
And look up at the ceiling
I was dealing with things I
Couldn’t put into words
Anxiety and depression had made it so
Hard to work and by the
Time that I beat it I
Think they’ve taken their toll
You were with me in person
But your heart was alone
Now I’m guilty and angry for all
The time that I stole
I’m in the yard with the dog
And we’re both diggin’ some holes
The only difference is he’s
Filling his with old, dirty bones
I guess I’m doing the same but
Mine are broken from stones (stones)
Empty bottles on my table and
Some holes in the wall
I wish you nothing but the best
Nothing at all

It’s eating me alive, eating me alive
Eating me alive
I wish it all would stay where I put
It all away underneath the pine tree
Bury me alive, bury me alive, bury me alive
So the
Ghosts in my head can finally go to bed
No one can find me
(I been thinking maybe I have problems)
It’s eating me alive, eating me alive
Eating me alive
I wish it all would stay where I put
It all away underneath the pine tree
(I been sinking way down to the bottom)
Bury me alive, bury me alive, bury me alive
So the
Ghosts in my head can finally go to bed
No one can find me

We moved out of the city, I stayed in LA
I lived alone until the rent became
Way too much to pay
I started hangin’ with people I hadn’t
Seen in a minute and fell
In love with somebody I knew
Since we were just children
I think it’s better this way
I think you just had to go
I think it’s funny that love was
Hiding right under my nose
I think we’ll both be alright
And if we’re not that’s ok
I think the way the cookie
Crumbles only sweetens the taste
I think the sky is only pretty
When it thunders and rains
I think the sea is at it's
Calmest after all of the waves
I think our demons knock the hardest
When you lock all the gates
And bein’ honest with ourselves will
Only help all the pain
My new street a little rougher
Than the last one
I was sober for a while but
If I’m thirsty I’ll smash one
Never throw a cigarette away
If it’s half done
Takin’ every last bit, man, fuck it

It’s eating me alive, eating me alive
Eating me alive
I wish it all would stay where I put
It all away underneath the pine tree
Bury me alive, bury me alive, bury me alive
So the
Ghosts in my head can finally go to bed
No one can find me
(I been thinking maybe I have problems)
It’s eating me alive, eating me alive
Eating me alive
I wish it all would stay where I put
It all away underneath the pine tree
(I been sinking way down to the bottom)
Bury me alive, bury me alive, bury me alive
So the
Ghosts in my head can finally go to bed
No one can find me

Twenty beers in the fridge
Right next to the takeout
Cigarettes in the freezer
Keepin’ ‘em fresh till I break down
I got dreams of a lake house
Somewhere no one can find me
I got history buried deep underneath
All of these pine trees
I got all of these people
These people follow
Me blindly as I head into darkness
Never glancing behind me
The pressure is building
I feel it throb in my head
A lesser man than myself would
Probably be better off dead
They say the storm is still coming
You can tell when your bones ache
The prairie wind’s blowing
The rain pours and your home
Shake The clouds are as
Dark as the sky at night
When there’s no stars
Lightning’s in the west on the
Road where there’s no cars
I been drinkin’ so heavy
I should just open my own bar
Keep the knives in my back just
To recall where the holes are
My heart on my sleeve
I got like twenty on both arms
Hell and back ain’t what they meant when
They said that I’d go far

It’s eating me alive, eating me alive
Eating me alive
I wish it all would stay where I put
It all away underneath the pine tree
Bury me alive, bury me alive, bury me alive
So the
Ghosts in my head can finally go to bed
No one can find me
(I been thinking maybe I have problems)
It’s eating me alive, eating me alive
Eating me alive
I wish it all would stay where I put
It all away underneath the pine tree
(I been sinking way down to the bottom)
Bury me alive, bury me alive, bury me alive
So the
Ghosts in my head can finally go to bed
No one can find me
