________________________________
Lyrics:
The lies, the weight, deceit, decay
The lies, the weight
It's clear I lost my way
Deceit, decay
Decomposing
I thought I was an architect but I was just moving dirt
Stacking mud over malice covered-up forming nothing but a pile of hurt
I hadn’t been building (building)
The time was spent digging (digging)
Boring the barriers that kept others away (away)
The deeper the walls the less anyone could hear (hear me) fall
So now I know there is no one else to blame
Buried alive inside of my own grave
And there's no one else to blame
Buried alive inside of my own grave
Inside of my own grave
Beneath my lies
Delusional enough to think I’d designed something great
Like a giant headstone inscribed to describe my shameful fate
I hadn't been building (building)
The time was spent digging (digging)
An ugly truth from which there was no way to escape (escape)
Nowhere left to hide and then finally forced to face what I'd become
Buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave)
And there's no one else to blame
Buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave)
What I'd become
Buried alive inside of my own grave
Beneath my pride crushing me
Beneath my lies collapsing
But we are still alive
We are still alive
Buried alive inside of my own grave
And there's no one else to blame
Buried alive inside of my own grave
My own grave
Buried alive inside of my own grave
And there's no one else to blame
The lies and the weight, I know I lost my way (my way)
What I'd become
Buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave)
And there's no one else to blame
Buried alive… buried alive
Finally forced to face what I'd become
What I'd become in my own grave (buried)
In my own grave (alive)

    This is my favorite core song, it has everything you want. Good vocals, energy and some of my favorite lyrics in all of metal. Tim hiring a hitman on his wife is defintely terrible and there are no excuses for it but I think he has learned from it which reflects through the lyrics of this song. It also struck a chord with me especially since I got my life together and started trying to do better on a daily basis, great song.

    Great song. Ive personally found it hard to stomach listening to AILD since Tims conviction. Yeah I get that he served his time but I can never get past the whole "what if he got away with it?" Scenario. How so many Christians would have beem praying and sending financial support for Tim while the entire time he was responsible. Outlandish i know but it bugs me.

    I get it, it's not an easy pill to swallow. If there's true repentance in anyone's life it's going to take time to build back trust, but as Christians, we're also called to put away all bitterness while still being shrewd about his claims and present actions. A hard line to walk, but that's Christ's standard.

    Can’t find anything Kanye said that was factually incorrect in reference to the juice specifically

    Hahaha I'm not gonna touch that with a 10 ft pole because that wasn't the point of that story. Does he really sound like a sober-minded Christian when he talks about things (often in contradicting ways) and now wants to create an adult entertainment company? Just saying we shouldn't determine heaven or hell for someone in the moment, but we should be considering the fruit.
