Buried Alive

I could always hide my feelings
But now it seems so hard
I've been burned at the stake
I'm a woman with a dream
That I will never reach
Because to the world, I'm dead.

When your day comes
My time is through.
My heart can't survive.
I've been buried alive.

I can search for my life
But it is long gone
I can become strong again.
I can have a new life
And my heart can be cleansed
But scars from the past are there to the end.

They say what they want
They do what they want
And when they shut you out you'll learn
You've been buried alive.
