BURDEN LYRICS

1. Bless The Broken

So I have given away my cover
So I bear my wounds to this world
Been carrying this pain around forever
I give in I can’t walk no more

Been facing the throes of this world
How it shook me
Oh it shook me goddamn well

In my anger my misgiving
All I need is your distressful delusion
To kneel down to
And all I will be is living proof to the thrust
Of misguided feelings

We bless the broken!
We bless the broken!
We bless the broken!

Take your fucking souls
Pile ‘em up high
Burn ‘em down low
Cut deep into the flesh
Let it bleed
Let it heal
And let there be scars!

2. Done With Denial

Everywhere is nowhere
Now where’s the sense in that?
The inner me gets colder
While my skin can’t hold more beads of sweat
With every mile I’m tumbling
My surface molds to fit
Lapsing from faith in you

Forever done
Done with denial
Forever done

Why king, why king, why
Is your kingdom overcome?
Why king, why king, why
Overgrown with moss and mold
His majesty is growing old

I feel my time expiring
From my wanderings I rest
Don’t believe in my creator
But my disbelief I detest
I grasp onto the feeling
That I’m the only one
Questioning my salvation

3. Black Room

As I walk into a black room
I can feel the relieve (sic)
A million rays of light
Have worn out my skin

Oh and as I shut the door
Silence is veiling me
Veiling me finally
A room so dark
Couldn’t tell if it’s white
It’s darker than the deepest shade of black night

Where’s it to be found
Oh take me into the black
Where’s it to be found
The black room

The road to ruin is paved
Oh crumbling crooks
I chase my decay

When you walk through minds
And up to the spirits you rise
When there is no sound
And you can feel the pull of time
Your body is a crook that must be
Left behind

Where’s it to be found
Take me into the black room

4. Man Of No Account

Behold my eyes
While I cut down the tree
Through my spine
A rush of doubt choking me
Choking me hard

Just once to be a man of no account

No frames to keep me down
No fences and walls
No sacred crown
Can make me yield my ground

What you say
What you will be
Remains to you

Behold my eyes
While I cut down the tree
Through my spine
A rush of doubt choking me
Choking me hard

Hard to be a man in misery
A privilege to own
My sunken cheeks and tired eyes
Got time to tell you so
Who I am
What I will be
Remains to me

You’re like a splinter to my mind
Like a nail to my wrist
A dagger to my heart
Like needles through my soul

No bricks and steel
No concrete fields
No smothers and lies
No bullshit and flies
No backbone and guts
No stabs and cuts
Can take what I’m yearning for

All our lifes (sic)
Washed away instantly
I take my time
Your hands choking me
Choking me hard

5. About The Veil And The Wound

The ghost it faints collecting the spores from the air
Feeding the growth with minimal cuts the body is nurtured
The spirit untouched a life led by pride
Rots from the inside a death wish uncomplied
Mirrors in his eyes

There’s a hole in the shell

6. The Slug. The Drag. The Misery.

Too much confusion had forced me to rest
Burning my eyes and stabbing my chest
Guilt and response is a pain in my neck
Deepest depression had made me a wreck

No more prospects for me to take

I’m watching you
Through the glass in my hand
My bottle of treatment
I get on demand

For once I could speak to my inner voice
Unmasking your farce of offering me choice
Accepting the way I’d have to go
The way that deceived me so

In the glance of jealousy I stand
Tryin’ to ease my grief
But I can’t

When will you ever see the things I’ve seen
To be left alone
When will you ever feel the pain I feel

To be cast aside,
Aside

7. Stampede

Daze me make me numb a doctrine becomes an ideal
I hang onto every word you mouth no doubt, no doubt
I’m stampeding with the crowd it makes me dull in a way

Relieve me from my reason I am collateral to the collective
To your wisdom I am worthless no doubt, no doubt
I’m stampeding with the crowd it makes me dull in a way

I will follow
Burn down what I’ve been before
I will follow you

Me fellows, my brothers
Through the illusion of war
Bleeding the soil that we were fighting for

8. Process (Into The Nothing)

Collapsing
So much pressure
It grinds you
It makes you weak
You are the soil
Every wave drags you out some more
Into the nothing

So much blood
On your hands
Tears in regret won’t wash it away

Where did you go
Where have you been
You have control
Of this process you’re in

You made mistakes
They cannot be solved in flames
Burning deep into your skin
Your skin
Is this your skin
Is this what you are
Does it itch when you try to sleep
When you lie awake

You wanna trade your itch
For pain

Go walk the earth
See the rivers recur
Until the process is over.

9. The Fool

The root of my being
My soul I’ve behold
When you crossed my way
The secrets of all my demons unfold

I’m facing a passionate fool
An enemy worth to fight

This shallow weakness
And my demons to tame
I accept my burden
And from where it came

You can’t cope with reality
To the border of insanity
Melancholy obsessin’ me
Setting all the demons free
They multiply infinity
Melancholy obsessing me

10. Conflict

I have chosen
Smothering warmth no more
As I crater deep
Into the conflict laden

Blackness below
All hope is gone
While the backdrop of sense
In our conflict’s fading

Blackest ideation
Eats me up alive
I am drowning
In fragile revelations

Twisting and turning
I cannot retain no more
As I crater deep
Into the conflict laden

Blackness below
All hope is gone
While the backdrop of sense
In our conflict’s fading

Blackest ideation
Eats me up alive
I am drowning
In fragile revelations

I am too tired to cover
Sick and tired of giving myself away
You suck the life out of me
I convict myself to you
