Flobots - Buried Alive Lyrics

[Intro: Jonny 5]
Each movement that I make could make a movement
(Stress fatigue)
Each movement that I make could make a movement
(Glass gun deadly recipe)
Each movement that I make could make a movement
(Edge of the precipice)
Each movement that I make could make a
Trigger finger press release

[Verse 1: Jonny 5]
Now I know you heard of me
I know you saw
I know you’re cursing me
Round of applause
Like I don’t deserve to breathe
Life when he’s not
Like why was I personally trying to be god
Now some of us murder and some of us lie
But I am not one of them
I am not one of them
Why?
Pull out a gun to survive
Fire a gun and then die a thousand deaths
If you really knew me you would know
I am afraid of the dark
If you really knew me you would know
Try to be brave in my heart
But monologue monologue stereotype
I am not one of them
I am not one of them
Why?
Pull out a gun to survive
Fire a gun and then die
Buried alive
[Chorus]
Buried alive, buried alive, buried alive
Don’t let me be
Buried alive, buried alive, buried alive
Oh-oh (x2)

[Verse 2: Brer Rabbit]
Yea shadows I battled and fell short
Hands up and lay down for a day
Yea yea yea
Rattled by the snakes that don’t show up and support
Get tread on with nothing to say
The flag doesn’t sway without a plentiful breeze
I'd rather be buried than swing from a tree
And all of the yous are just different me’s
I wanna speak less cuz I am choosing to see
This epiphany
In infancy diplomacy is listening
To the child in each of us scream
A little bit of wisdom is a dangerous thing
And I don’t give a damn
Without a militant eve
I’m deep but I’m not

[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
If you could ever know
The thoughts I've known and seen what I have seen
All the spiteful stones that I've thrown did not protect me
I want you to know these heavy stones nearly crushed me
If I'd only known that heavy load that brought me low would help me grow
I wouldn’t be

[Chorus x2]
