The Burden of Knowledge
Life fades out
It hurts to breathe
Lungs become machinery
I wanna blow holes in my head
Just to kill all the fking memories
I often wonder who I am
Or who I'm supposed to be
An empty tank, empty bed empty shell
Another empty is me
The burden of knowledge is
Death for the wiser ones
It always seems to end this way
Stripped of a soul
Awoke in a hole
And the light that was truth, erased
I woke up dead
And found myself alive on borrowed breath
Atrophied emotions
And slowly kill myself
This heart now red
The veins still blue
This heart now dead
And so are you
What's left of me is plastic skin
And a voice-box screaming through a bloody grin
The burden of knowledge is
Death for the wiser ones
It always seems to end this way
Stripped of a soul
Awoke in a hole
And the light that was truth, erased
I woke up dead
And found myself alive on borrowed breath
Atrophied emotions
And slowly kill myself
(Bridge interlude)
I've awoken once again
With innocence stained on my bed
My mouth is covered by a tube
I used to get so high on you
Death for the wiser ones
It always seems to end this way
Stripped of a soul
Awoke in a hole
And the light that was truth, erased
I woke up dead
And found myself alive on borrowed breath
Atrophied emotions
And slowly kill myself
It hurts to breathe
Lungs become machinery
I wanna blow holes in my head
Just to kill all the fking memories
I often wonder who I am
Or who I'm supposed to be
An empty tank, empty bed empty shell
Another empty is me
The burden of knowledge is
Death for the wiser ones
It always seems to end this way
Stripped of a soul
Awoke in a hole
And the light that was truth, erased
I woke up dead
And found myself alive on borrowed breath
Atrophied emotions
And slowly kill myself
This heart now red
The veins still blue
This heart now dead
And so are you
What's left of me is plastic skin
And a voice-box screaming through a bloody grin
The burden of knowledge is
Death for the wiser ones
It always seems to end this way
Stripped of a soul
Awoke in a hole
And the light that was truth, erased
I woke up dead
And found myself alive on borrowed breath
Atrophied emotions
And slowly kill myself
(Bridge interlude)
I've awoken once again
With innocence stained on my bed
My mouth is covered by a tube
I used to get so high on you
Death for the wiser ones
It always seems to end this way
Stripped of a soul
Awoke in a hole
And the light that was truth, erased
I woke up dead
And found myself alive on borrowed breath
Atrophied emotions
And slowly kill myself
