Buried Alive

Buried Alive

Slowly lay my box inside the ground.
Fill the hole so I can't make a sound.
The darkness in here embraces my fears.
The soft red velvet is damp from my tears.
Don't leave! I'm still alive!
To hear my mother whisper goodbye.
To hear my father actually cry.
My brothers shaking my hand.
Screaming because he doesn't understand.
Don't leave! I'm still alive!
Everyone crying and dressed in black,
mourning forever because I'll never come back.
Laying various flowers over my grave
that will soon die with me someday.
Don't leave! I'm still alive!
The doctors made an awful mistake!
I wasn't dead. I just couldn't stay awake.
And now thanks to them this is where I lie.
Thanks to them I was buried alive .
