Time Has Come

[Intro: Slow, haunting guitar riff with muted palm strums] [Verse 1] Walls closing in, can't catch my breath This wooden prison, a dance with death Fingernails bleeding, I claw at the seams Reality's worse than my darkest dreams [Pre-Chorus] Trapped in this box, I'm losing my mind Freedom's a memory I've left behind But as I push harder, I start to see The truth of my grave reality [Chorus] Six feet under, I'm buried alive Dirt's my blanket, as I try to survive Screaming in silence, no one can hear My desperate cries as I disappear Buried alive, buried alive In this coffin where hope can't survive [Instrumental: Heavy, distorted power chords with frantic drum fills] [Verse 2] The air's getting thinner, each breath is a fight I'm sinking deeper into endless night Thought I was trapped, but now I know I'm in a tomb that's six feet below [Pre-Chorus] The earth is my captor, the box is my cell Each passing moment's a personal hell I thought I could break free, but now I see There's no escape from this cemetery [Chorus] Six feet under, I'm buried alive Dirt's my blanket, as I try to survive Screaming in silence, no one can hear My desperate cries as I disappear Buried alive, buried alive In this coffin where hope can't survive [Bridge: Quieter, with clean guitar and soft, ticking percussion] Tick tock goes the clock of my fading life Each second cuts like a rusted knife I'm running out of time and air In this underground nightmare Was I forgotten or left for dead? These questions echo in my head As I lay here in my wooden tomb Embracing my impending doom [Instrumental: Build-up with increasingly intense guitar riffs and pounding drums] [Chorus - with added desperation] Six feet under, I'm buried alive Dirt's my blanket, as I try to survive Screaming in silence, no one can hear My desperate cries as I disappear Buried alive, buried alive In this coffin where hope can't survive [Outro: Repeated with variations, growing softer] The earth swallows my final breath (As I succumb to living death) My struggles fade into the ground (Where I'll never be found) Buried alive, now I am gone (My requiem, my final song) In this box beneath the soil (My eternal, earthen coil) [Final Instrumental: Fade out with distorted guitar feedback and slow, heavy drum beats mimicking a slowing heartbeat] [End]
