Say so long to paradise, how the hell did it go so wrong?
Isn’t this what you’ve been waiting for?
Isn’t this what you wanted all along?
I'm so tired of being kicked while I'm already down
Feed me more lies ’till I can’t think straight
Make me realize that all this is fake
Bury me, bury me. Six feet under sounds so much better
Underneath, underneath. I'm not living, but my heart keeps beating
I’ve made my bed and now I lay in it
Until my last breath, the show must go on
Can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel
Looks like I'm in too deep
And then again it’s a drink
The only way I can think, to cope with the emptiness
And get some fucking sleep
Time moves mountains, it also digs graves
When the clock runs out, win or lose I’ll have a smile on my face
Two sets of gates don’t scare me
Whichever side it may be, I’ll walk right in (walk right in)
We’re just hoping for heaven, but living in hell
Bury me, bury me. Six feet under sounds so much better
Underneath, underneath. I'm not living, but my heart keeps beating
I’ve made my bed and now I lay in it
Until my last breath, the show must go on
Bury me, bury me
Underneath, underneath
Bury me, bury me
The light is too bright to see
Underneath, underneath
The dirt fills my lungs yet I breathe
The light is much too bright to see
The dirt, it fills my lungs and yet I breathe
Bury me, bury me. Six feet under sounds so much better
Underneath, underneath. I'm not living, but my heart keeps beating
I’ve made my bed and now I lay in it
Until my last breath, the show must go on
Have you ever looked in the mirror and hoped you weren’t there?
