Lyrics

When your heart is sick from beating,
cuz this double life you're leading
ain't no fun.
You need to find your bearing
'fore you're staring down
the barrel of a gun.

Cuz every lie just builds on every lie
You've got a crypt but you ain't gonna die
only as good as your latest alibi.
The more you struggle, the more you're tied
left in a hole where you'll never see the sky.

You're buried alive

When your mind is tired of roiling
'cuz the rope just keeps on coilinga
'round your throat.
You better find some kind of spin
or you're gonna swim
the dead man's float.

Cuz every lie builds on every lie
You've got a crypt but you ain't gonna die
only as good as your latest alibi.
The more you struggle, the more you're tied
left in a hole where you'll never see the sky.

You're buried alive.
