Fighting with his bride-to-be,
cursing through the night,
He clearly sees the shadowing of fate.
He don’t care what she’s thinking.
He don’t care if she’s right.
“Don’t wait for me, I won’t be home tonight.”
Talking with his truest friends,
hanging at the dive,
They finally said, “That girl will be your death.”
So he’s drinking one for comfort,
the rest just to survive.
He is just afraid to be buried alive.
We live a life that isn’t friendly,
but has our living yet arrived?
I guess we’re all afraid of being buried alive.
Innocent and beautiful,
apple of their eye,
The youngest of the daughters holds the torch.
It soon becomes a crossfire
hot as mid July.
The bar was raised, she fell today and cried.
Screaming at her family,
fire in her eyes,
“You all expect the universe of me!”
She raced into the darkness
driving 85.
She is just afraid to be buried alive.
We live a life that isn’t friendly,
but has our living yet arrived?
I guess we're all afraid of being buried alive.
Walking through the meadow,
Cuts that will not dry,
Seems even blades of grass are bleeding you.
Forgetting where you’ve come from,
just lucky to survive.
You are just afraid to be buried alive...

great point
i think thats when we learn the most
when pushed beyond
but stress is a two way street
and you said it well

Good point, we are all afraid of taking more than we can handle and literally being buried alive with the stress and emotional hardships that come with it.

I was so happy to see a familiar face in the shameless! As a kid, some of my favorite sets of lyrics were the ones that described a different person in each verse. Those types really showed what the writer meant to say, and, reading this, I remember why they were my favorites. The end of the first stanza blew my mind, and assured me that yes, I would read this, and yes, I'd have no choice but to comment. The whole thing was done great though This works great as a poem, but I bet it's even better as a song. I'd love to hear some of your lyrics to music sometime. Beautifully done!!
P.S. You would have gotten a longer comment if it weren't so good, because now I have to go back and read it again!

I like this very much as a poem, and I can see it going well to music. I'd have to hear the tune to really tell though. Great job.
-
wow i really like this i can kind of relate what kind of music do you write
-
Nice write. Have you come up with a tune to go with this?
-
This is different than most of your writes. I especially like; Talking with his truest friends,
hanging at the dive,
They finally said, “That girl will be your death.”
So he’s drinking one for comfort,
the rest just to survive.
He is just afraid to be buried alive.
Sounds like another great song to me.
