I, The Burden Lyrics

How can I fill the void in me?

When I am full of sorrow and grief

How can I fill the void in me?

When there is no room for anything good

Deep in my soul I carry the burden

I don't want it to be known, I don't want it to exist

It eats me up, cuts me like a knife

Emotional chaos is flowing through my veins

I can't help myself

I am the one who suffocates myself

Why do I want the truth?

When the truth hurts the most

Why do I torture myself?

When I have no reason to rejoice

How can I fill the void in me?

When I am full of sorrow and grief

How can I fill the void in me?

When there is no room for anything good

If something happens to me, don't look, dont' look for me

(I know you won't)

If my inner demons prevail, and if they slay me, don't worry

(I know you won't)

I deserved better than this

But who am I to judge

Sitting on a glade of doom

I watch the black fire swallows everything

I threw myself into the flames

As my skin burns, the burden is left alone

I burned out but I'm still here

Because the burden that I carried and that remained was me
