Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Where is the light when I burn in the fire?
I stand ensnared, my hands are bound in wire
I fall apart, rapture forming in my head
Don't shed a tear, you'll understand when I'm dead
[Refrain]
You'll understand when I'm dead
[Verse 2]
This cruel world has opened up to me
Like the fire-headed woman standing bare in my dreams
She seems to caress and run her hands up and down me
But now I give way to collapse and feel the ground splinter beneath my feet
I grip the dirt tryna pull it to me
But with my fingers sinking deeper, I have no air to breathe
The open road and my brothers all surrounding me
I have the only truth I wanted from this world made of deceit
I live life numb
So I can spare you the hurt when I die young
[Bridge]
I live life selfish and numb
So I can spare you the pain when I die young
[Bridge]
Oh, smile
Aren't you so glad to be alive?
Feel the spike in your mouth
I can see the needle in your eye
Feel the loving warmth
Until you're dripping in sweat
Strap a smile on, then shoot yourself in the head
[Bridge]
Keep the knife out of reach, hold me down till I see red
Strap my Kevlar on then shoot me in the head
[Verse 3]
Living life like a dying breed, my misery perceived as apostasy
Ungrateful fuck, give yourself to the light
But I never found it in this endless night
[Bridge]
Ensnared by the night, ooh
[Verse 4]
You said this would never change
You said we'd always stay the same
If I don't die young
Bury me alive
Whoo
[Outro]
Bury me
Bury me
Bury me
Whoo
Bury me
Bury me
Bury me
Eee
Bury me
Argh
