Buried is a 2010 Spanish thriller film directed by Rodrigo Cortés. It stars Ryan Reynolds, and was written by Chris Sparling.
The film revolves around Iraq-based American truck driver Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds), who, after being attacked, finds himself buried alive in a wooden coffin, with only a lighter, flask, flashlight, knife, glowsticks, pencil and a mobile phone to help him escape before the oxygen in the coffin runs out. Since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, the film has received a positive critical reception.
Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds), a US truck driver based in Iraq, awakens buried alive in a wooden coffin, bound and gagged, with only a Zippo and a BlackBerry. Although he initially has no idea how he got there, he soon starts to piece together what has happened to him. He remembers that he and several other trucks were ambushed by insurgents, who killed the other truck drivers. After finding the cellphone, Conroy attempts to contact his wife and employers, but is able only to leave a message for both of them. Paul is able to contact the FBI, but they cut off before he can explain the situation. Conroy's kidnapper phones him and demands a ransom of $5 million to release him alive, which is later lowered to $1 million.
Soothing pain
In falling whispering rain
Buried in the sea of sepulchral sounds
In these arms I feel so safe and empty
In my light silent
Bleeding deep dark
Violent
In my grave strown/
With stained flowers of suffering
Giving their beautiful narcotic smell
My tears shed
Burnt out deep stigma to my decaying bones
Trembling
Awaiting my redemption/
I'm Young
But I'm Not Proud
I'm Wanna Do Things But I'm Not Allowed
My Mind says yes but I don't know
Don't wanna be a 1st Class Joe
I'm buried six feet underground
My head is screaming more than my mouth
I'll go and leave this world
Just because I have morals
People around me make me sick
The people think I'm a dick
No solution to my problem
But do I have one at all?
I'm buried six feet underground
My head is screaming more than my mouth
I'll go and leave this world
I've been looking for answers to set you free
Black are the reasons you gave to me
Never, never look back
Just move, move ahead
You were lucky, friend
You could be dead
Ignore the future or bury your head in the sand
It's a two-bit fantasy that the man in your
head demands
You can say it with a vengeance - you'll be
back from the grave
Time waits for no one - this has to be true
Mine ran out a long time ago - there's nothing
nothing you can do
Never...
Now you're living with a burden that rests
upon your mind
You were lying to yourself 'cos you were
afraid of what you'd find
You can say it with a vengeance - you'll be
back from the grave
We'll be waiting a long, long time before
you're ever saved
Drifting so far away - things seem so strange
Thought you could escape - believed things
would change
Never...
Ignore the future or bury your head in the sand
It's a two-bit fantasy that the man in your
head demands
Now you're living with a burden that rests
upon your mind
You were lying to yourself 'cos you were
afraid of what you'd find
You can say it with a vengeance - you'll be
I wasted so much time
With you, my dear
While you masquerade
And tell yourself ten thousand lies
You're in love with your new guy
Then alright
I'm sure that way deep down you know
He's second place inside
I can't pretend that I don't miss you
I think I will
Take the time to get over it
I think I buried it
And I should have just said goodbye
Cause you're wasting my time
I'm sick of losing games
Cause you make the rules
I'm never more alone than any time I spent with you
Aren't you so pretty?
Pretty, what I think it's time for you to fill that line
I can't pretend that I don't miss you
I think I will
Take the time to get over it
I think I buried it
And I should have just said goodbye
Cause you're wasting my time
You said you changed and never lied
You were out having your good times
I'm glad I shared so few with you
When you wake up and see the light
I hope you swim in tears that you cried
And I'll sink the only boat to save you
Save you
Save you
Save you
Take the time to get over it
I think I buried it
And I should have just said goodbye
Cause you're wasting my time
I can't pretend that I don't miss you
I think I will
Take the time to get over it
I think I buried it
And I should have just said goodbye
Cause you're wasting my time
Cause you're wasting my time
I stand here humble and meek;
I stand still looking to fill this void.
Step into the light
what are we searching for? With our hands held high
there is nothing to lose.
Will you take the leap? I'm only scared of tomorrow.
We need to die today.
Pull the reigns, can you control yourself.
Buried in thought, we waste our lives questioning. What do we have to show?
Stained red you paid the price.
Stand your ground, Stand face to face.
We are getting darker but I can see what's fast ahead
right in front of me
the world is falling deeper but you're the light I see, the light we see.
Alpha of love
Omega of death
I am buried, I am born again.
You can cover my eyes
I will never be blind
I will never be decieved
You're gonna be buried and blind
Take these words to heart
Theres nothing more pure than this
Watch me fall apart, I've failed
And left you the shell of a man
You have no fucking heart
Theres nothing more true than this
I'll rip your life apart, I swear
There is nothing more true
I will never be blind
I will bring the end
I will destroy your faith
I will not let you remain
Ignorant to the lies
I will not let you
Down ever again
I will never fail
I will never be wrong
I will never fail
Another change of flesh
You arent awake to pay for death
nothing lies..???
You will drown and bleed to death
One down
And more to kill
To clean up this world
To ???
To get the adrenalin pumping
Your remains of a broken body
Thrown in a coffin
Buried six feet under
They never see the sign of breathing
Your flesh will be decaying
Murdered, buried, forgotten
Another life destroyed
Leaving the body
For another realm
My body grows warm as I feel you await my god
Squeese the cold, pale body as I fuck it
Murdered, buried, forgotten
I wasted all this time
With you my dear
As you masquerade
and tell yourself a thousand lies
If you say two and one is five
Then you're right
Along those lines just say
That all we ever do is fight
I can't pretend that I don't miss you
I think I will
Take the time to get over it
I think I'll bury it
and I shoulda just said good-bye
Cause you're wasting my time
I'm sick of losing games
Cause you make the rules
I'm never more alone
Then anytime I spent with you
Aren't you so pretty
Pretty what I think it's
Time for you to fill that line
You're right here
[Chorus: x2]
Black hoodies, black gloves, black shirt
Put you under the dirt, putting devils to work
Black jeans, black boots, hat low
Fuck with the Savage Bros, get buried in black snow
[Verse 1:]
Burning on trees, ganja [? ], no sticks, no seeds
Chief that green leaf, mind stay at peace, contraband in my sneaks
Forever free, riding till the wheels fall off
Or I cease to breathe, waiting patiently
With a nine placed in the waist of my jeans
I conquer demons, homicide chalk at the scene
One love, one life, one sun, one king
One shot, one kill, one scope, one beam
Warfare, another loss, another tragedy
Another victim to the streets, another causality
Big shot, get your wig rocked
Full block on gridlock, hit spots until we get it all
Out for the raw, bitch your face to the floor
For la familia, that's what I'm doing this for
Go through Hell to reach the heavenly doors
I'm in it to win it, gotta get it, better get yours
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 2:]
Meteor bright shower the block, watch for the landmines
Jaws drop, feeble religions follow the anti's plan like
Burning the leaf, giving me slant eyes
[? ] duck through debris, go to my campsite
Space wars battling comets and star patterns
Kneel to the pharaohs, surrounded by rings, call me Saturn
[? ] putting shards up on the boulevards
So act hard, seen to Heaven to ask God
Meet your maker, soul controller, supreme holder
I move the paper, hit up the block like young Sosa
Okee-doke, a multiple blunt smoker, the chiefer
Allah reefer, [? ] Bob Villa
Your all-seeing scope, your dope correcting your lingo
I ain't no hero, holding the dice hoping for zero
To [? ] my ego you'd need at least a thousand more people
Ghengis Khan concur your land, wait for the sequel
I will drag you down to the earth
I will torture you as you once did to me
I will fill your soul with pain
I will make you pray for your death
The darkest place is where I make you mine
Deep within the human heart
Hidden away from the eyes of your kind
No hope... No faith... No light...
I will bury your flesh in the ground
I will cover you with soil
I will never allow your remains to be found
I will die with the truth
The darkest place is where I make you mine
Deep within the human heart
Hidden away from the eyes of your kind
No hope... No faith... No light...
When temptation grabs ahold
To sing a dirge of defeat
This weary soul can not shake the agony
No patience for believers
Despair bleeds hopelessness
These thoughts leave me drained
Futile and frail where light has died
The darkest place is where I make you mine
Deep within the human heart
Hidden away from the eyes of your kind
No hope... No faith... No light...
I have been broken a hundred times
Beaten and battered forever scorned
Living life with the rope around my neck
You see the world through a strained window
Or maybe I just don't see at all
It never makes any sense
When you choose not to use your head
You believe that your heart will lead to reality
We give in every time
Weave the rope and you've tied our hands
I've always watched you fall
I'm too far to even crawl behind
You think there's nothing above you
Just a sky of lies
You don't believe in blue skies
So you burry yourself there's a shovel by your side
You burry yourself even futher every time
You burry yourself there's a shovel by your side
Seems to be a better comfort
I've put my hand up to be on your team
Racing mind, sideline smile for your needs
I've tried to refrain
But watching you walk through that fire is a burden
That I can't carry
So you burry yourself there's a shovel by your side
You burry yourself even further every time
You burry yourself with that shovel by your side
Seems to be a better comfort
Than a mothers eyes
I don't understand how
What happened to your esteem
You're so beautiful to me
So you burry yourself there's a shovel by your side
You burry yourself even futher every time
You burry yourself there's a shovel by your side
Seems to be a better comfort
So now we don't talk but your name's still on my shoudler
And now you've learned to eat lies and spit out what's inside
Somehow in this life there's a shovel growing older
Seems to be a better comfort
Seems to be a better comfort
PULL CLOSE TO ME
IT'S KILLING TIME
DARE TO BELIEVE
BREATHE DEEP YOUR LIGHT
LEAVE ME TOMORROW
HOLD ME TONIGHT
BURY DEEP THAT KNIFE INSIDE
YOU'LL NEED ME TOMORROW
BETRAY ME TONIGHT
BURY ME JUST ONE LAST TIME
WE'RE GOIN DOWN
WHERE FEW HAVE BEEN
TO LIVE THE DREAM
He lived in home
....Nobody has come to him
He lived alone
....Alone in his dreams and his fears
The life was empty and silent
Lonely as if the moon
He silently cried looking on the dark sky
And wanted to die
The people were souless
....To him and to his life
He lived in loneliness
....Nobody gave him by love
His life was empty and silent
Deprived of any hopes
He silently cried looking on the dark sky
And wanted to die
He is buried alone
In cold grave
....Nobody came
He has found rest
Forgive myself the day she came
Tears of joy falling
As I repeat her name
It's eternal someone said
But it burned a while with glowing flame
Then fade away
I've been buried
For her sake
Dead and buried
For my mistake
I'm not the only one
I feel it in my veins
I'm not awake I am alone
She admires her glorious role
Dancing in the golden streets
While I stagger to her door
I welcome my fears while knowing
An angel changed the side
And I got crucified
I've been buried
For her sake
Dead and buried
For my mistake
I'm not the only one
I feel it in my veins
Wishing to go, wishing to fly
I'm not the only one
I feel it in my veins
Wishing to fly, wishing to go
I've been buried
Welcome to my isolation
I've been buried
I'm not the only one
I feel it in my veins
Wishing to go, wishing to fly
I'm not the only one
I can feel it in my veins
Wishing to fly, wishing to go
I'm not the only one
I can feel it in my veins
Wishing to go, wishing to fly
I'm not the only one
I can feel it in my veins
I've lived buried all my life
Waiting for a sign
To get to know you better
To see if you're divine.
Each and every promise
Is a hypocritical lie
Without seeing your real face
I just don't want to die.
Years fly by with every minute
I am dead before I'm born.
I try to get out of my tomb
The struggle inside makes me torn.
I have lived forgotten
Since the thought entered my head
To beg for a beam of light,
New hope in the world of the Dead.
Each and every promise
You failed to keep
Made me stronger to believe
Last thing you will ever know.
This harlot has found a resting place for every wasted moment
Nobody will know that you existed.
Death will do you no favors.
This is my absolution.
This is my liberation.
No more desperation.
Dead... I've thrown away everything that you are.
I belong to a future of my choosing.
Every move you've made has been well documented.
Your shackles of idiocy won't restrain me.
So fear me, fear this.
Fear everything you couldn't hold on to.
Fear me, fear this.
I want the world to see me bury you.
Calm and sweet is my sleep
My body starts to decay
Earth covers my mortal remains
Darkness –
No matter if it's night or day
Insidious the death sneaks in
I can hardly breath
Maggots try my skeleton
Oblivion -
No matter what you believe
Sweet, calm and sweet is my sleep
And it feels like buried alive
A weeping willow adorns my nature grave
Its roots twine around my bones
And sway my body gently
The sun shines
What a day!
I lived my dreams, I was never part of this world
Its beauty is not yet known to me
Life is passing me by
The sun shines
I need a rest, I better lay down my rotten limbs on my cosy, mossy pillow
Under the willow...
I'm awake, it was a half bad dream
That was way too long, my whole life it seemed
That someone started digging me up
Turned my headstone into dust
The sun was swallowed by the trees
The night was here for good
You pulled my hand and my head up
You put oxygen into my blood
You walked me through the gates
Like we were visitors for the day
You laid me down in the back seat
And you drove till I woke up to hear you say
You never lie but it's no fun to tell the truth
I guess, I never loved but I will see what I can do
Got so much life to waste
That I would take my days and hand them to you
I'm awake, it was a half bad dream
That was way too long, my whole life it seemed
That someone started digging me up
Turned my headstone into dust
I know you never lie but it's no fun to tell the truth
I guess, I never loved but I will see what I can do
Got so much life to waste
That I would take my days and hand them to you
I know you never lie but its so hard to tell the truth
I guess, I never loved but I will see what I can do
Got so much life to waste
