Burden

I throw it away, walking the silent road

It comes to me so vividly with the brush strokes

Mechanical man

Dangerous and without a plan

So silently come to me

I'll wash it all away

So I'm left to be a castaway

And bury all this weight

I covered it inside

And watched it all decay

Take it all

Until I can't breathe at all

And the trembling is all I can rely on

Mechanical man

Desperate and without a plan

So silently come to me

I'll wash it all away

So I'm left to be a castaway

And bury all this weight

I covered it inside

And watched it all decay

My mind is hidden from itself

I can't remember anything

My past in pieces, I'm afraid, and I don't know what I am

And I don't know where to turn

But I'll learn

I'll learn

Take aim at the heart of the sun

This life has just begun

Yeah, yeah

I hear it call to me again

To greet my hubris with a grin

A spread of jokers in my hand

To take me down and down again

I feel my bones are weakening

This weight I cannot take it

The gateway is gone

Abandon the sunlight

I feel the dawn of reckoning

When the veiled meets the world

I feel your hold is weakening

When I sing, I will be heard

I will be heard

I will be heard

I wish I could be heard

I will be heard

Wish I could, wish I could be
