"Bury Me Alive" is the first single from the rock group We Are the Fallen's debut album, Tear the World Down.
It was released on February 2, 2010, exclusively online at digital media outlets. An alternate acoustic version of the song was also released on the same day via the band's official website for free with registration to their mailing list.
A previous version of the track was released on June 22, 2009, as a free download exclusively to the first 100,000 people to register an email address on the band's official website. However, due to the overwhelming number of requests for the free download, the band also decided to stream the song on their MySpace fanpage.
The music video for "Bury Me Alive" was recorded in February 2010 with director Kyle Newman. His wife Jaime King was playing the part of the woman being buried. The video uses a funeral and burial as a metaphor in comparison to a relationship ending as a result of disillusionment. The video premiered March 25, 2010, on AOL's "Noisecreep" website.
The song was used in the trailer for the season 1 finale of The Vampire Diaries.
