Buried Alive Lyrics by MikelWJ

Metanoia

2014

[Verse One: MikelWJ]
I found my purpose for real, to tell the world how I feel
To differentiate emotions that I tried to conceal
Some call me real, and some fake, but no one knows whats at stake
And I feel stuffed at the moment so don't put more on my plate
I found myself on my aunts couch at 4AM on christmas
Asking when this loneliness had been put on my wish list
In fact, that's when Outcast was penned to the page
To deconstruct emotions and to save me from rage
Now if you take a second to look at it all from my perspective
You'll see I'm dealing with a lot more than I first expected
You'll see I lost most of the people that I first protected
And lost a lot of the faith in the ones I first respected
Don't say that I'm changing, since I'm aware it's the truth
I've been looking for change, and lately it's all that I do
So if you live in the shadows, come join the youth in the limelight
And realize you'll be happier when looking in hindsight
[Chorus: MikelWJ]
I'll be buried alive
I'll be buried inside this place
Today
I'll be buried alive
I am a too young to die
Today, in this place
[Verse Two: MikelWJ]
These words don't mean shit until you give them a meaning
Since I just rap what I'm writing and I just write what I'm seeing
So if my world seems dark, you'll see darkness repeating
And when I start breathing easy you'll see darkness retreating
But please don't paint me as an angel, or with eloquent lights
Please don't always think I'm down because the music I write
I love the fans that I get, and I do my best to be nice
But there's a difference from my music and my personal life
There are things about my life some people say isn't right
And if I wrote all my thoughts, there'd be some shit you don't like
But now i'm just being honest, just like I promised you all
So here's a simple little question, why'd you all let me fall?
I put in weeks worth of work just making sure it was perfect
But when the record released, it seems my efforts were worthless
Now I'm feeling worthless, fuck this feeling the earth gives
Everything went unnoticed so now I'm rolling with new kids
[Chorus]
[Bridge: MikelWJ]
I am not the type to follow footsteps, that I know won't lead the way
I am not the type to meet my heroes, God I know I'd rue the day
[Chorus]
