Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][C][D][Em][D]
[C][D][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
The [D]lies,
the weight, deceit, decay

[Verse 2]
[Em]The lies, the weight
It's clear I [D]lost my [C]way
[D]Deceit, decay
Decomposing
[Bm]

[Verse 3]
I thought I was an architect but
I was just moving dirt
Stacking mud over malice covered-up forming
forming nothing but a pile of hurt
I hadn't been building (building)
The time was spent [D]digging
[Bm](digging)
Boring the barriers that kept
others away (away)
The deeper the walls the less
anyone could hear (hear [D]me) fall
[C][D]

[Verse 4]
[Em]So now I know there
is no one else to [C]blame

[Verse 5]
Buried [D]alive inside of my own [Em]grave
And there's no one else to [D]blame[C]
Buried [D]alive inside of my own [Em]grave
Inside of my [Bm]own grave

[Verse 6]
Beneath my [Bm]lies[G][Bm]
[Em][Bm]

[Verse 7]
Delusional [B]enough to think I'd
designed [Bm]something great
[Em]Like a giant headstone[Bm] inscribed
to de[D]scribe [Bm]my shameful fate
I hadn't been building (building)
The time was spent digging
(digging)
An ugly truth from which there was no
way to escape (escape)
Nowhere left to hide and then finally
forced to face [Em]what I'd become

[Verse 8]
[C]Buried ali[D]ve inside of my
own [Em]grave (Mygrave)
And there's no one else to [D]blame[C]
Buried [D]alive inside of my own
[Em]grave (Mygrave)
What I'd [D]become[C]
Buried [D]alive inside of my own grave
[Em]

[Verse 9]
Beneath my pride crushing me
Beneath [G]my lies [Am]coll[Em]apsing
But we are [D]still [Am]alive[Bm][C]
We [D]are [C]still alive

[Verse 10]
Buried [D]alive inside of my own grave
[Em]And there's [D]no one e[C]lse to blame
Buried [D]alive inside [Em]of my
own [C]grave
My own grave

[Verse 11]
Buried [D]alive inside of my own [Em]grave
And there's no one else to [C]blame
The lies and the [D]weight,
I know I lost my [Em]way (my way)
[D]What I'd [C]become
Buried [D]alive inside of my own
[Em]grave (mygrave)
And there's no [D]one else to [C]blame
Buried [D]alive, buried alive
[Bm]

[Verse 12]
Finally forced to face what [Bm]I'd become
What I'd become [Bm](In my own
[Bm]grav[Bm]e)
Buried (In my own grave)
Alive
