Burden of the Artist ft. Mike Khaos Lyrics

Watch out for my sword when I unsheathe

The deadly weapon that I keep between my teeth

They want me to fight a war, but I use it to keep the peace

After all whose gonna police the police

With this weapon, you might just be knighted

Made by a blacksmith, real hot, like lightning

You wonderin' if it's made of iron

Talking about the same stuff gets so tiring

Watch it be unveiled, hear the sound as it's revealed

It might hit you in a little bit more than your feels

Better hope that you can heal

My blade will cut but my mind is sharper still

And I'll use both to develop my skill

Endeavor whatever comes and avenge for the blood spilled

Better hope that you can heal

Better hope that you can heal

Better hope that you can heal

My third eye keeps the bird's eye view

Got a knack for seeking out facts

You won't see me sneak past you

I see a comeuppance that's long past due

All I know is I'm about to outlast you

From the bird's eye view

The raven sits and watches everything that I do

But I don't even know if it's too mindful

Does it see a deadly virus or the swine flu

Does it make a noise when it flies thru

Crazy how your mind can drive you

Not seeing something right behind you

Do you really see what's going on? I do

Can't hide, they kill everyone that tried to

Feathers of every color but the flock is my crew

We keep watch on what we have, cuz to get it wasn't easy

We gave it meaning and it's something that we're keeping

You may not notice, but I see things

Failure doesn't happen 'til you call it quits or die

Failure is what happens when you never even try

A carpe diem coffin will symbolize our fate

Unless we have the strength to carry insurmountable weight

Starts to make you wonder what we done in our lives

And if we wanna go, if we wanna stay alive

Will it happen unexpectedly or will it be contrived

Guess we won't know 'til the time arrives

Will you get shot, or get the end of a blade?

Will you resurrect and come back, feelin like blade

Seein' every single mistake that we ever made

Something you've been trying to evade

The bed is made, Charon needs to get paid

Better get moving quickly, he ain't lookin to trade

One day that coffin's gonna close

Gonna pose with a rose whether or not

You're afraid

You're afraid
