The Burden Lyrics

My mind is made of weighty lead

Pulls down my brain like an anchor

It sinks all cells of my soul

It drowns all my tomorrows

I know, one day, it's going to grind

The last shred of me

My dreams, my bonds, I'm blind

I can't see what I'm going to be

Will I be able to flee

Why was I meant to be

Chosen to fear, what others bear

And I am afraid to say

"Can you help me all the way?"

The Burden

Not invincible but invisible

Coping with who I am

Isolating trying to hide the pain in

Denial from being condemned

Others see me crawling while they are running

Pretending not to see me

Why does it feel hopeless, when I was to choose this

My energy drained by everything

Why was I meant to be

Chosen to fear, what others bear

And I am afraid to say

"Can you help me all the way?"

The Burden

When fate is throwing rocks at me

Why do I embrace them with open arms

I am cursed in this repeating, neverending nightmare

Trying to push the same stone up the same hill, day by day, every day

And watching it roll down by the last flashes of sunlight

And yet still hoping for a different outcome

Pushing away my fears

Clenched to beat them all

The ever glowing darkness

Consuming what is left to fall

What do you want, what do you need

Is the sky high enough for you

Or why do you prevent me to fly

Why was I meant to be

Chosen to fear, what others bear

And I am afraid to say

"Can you help me all the way?"

The Burden
