Burden

Wasting my time
Eyes glued to the ceiling I can't
Seem to unwind
Oh, my mind is reeling, I'm a
Ship that's weighed down
By a burden heavy as the
Earth, I'm almost
Out of strength, I'm going under

Thoughts are racing at the speed of light
Why does this feel like a losing fight
You know I try so hard to do it right
I'm reaching for the light

And when my rhythm falters
How do I still march on?
And when the waves crash over me
How do I stand strong?
I've been battered by the storms
Within me too long
Too long

Wasting away
Inner demons seething they make
Me burn with hate
For this life I'm leading

My soul is every shade of black and blue
And every inch of me is aching too
So tell me what am I supposed to do
If I can't push on through

And when my rhythm falters
How do I still march on?
And when the waves crash over me
How do I stand strong?
I've been battered by the storms
Within me too long
Too long

And if you knew me you'd resent me
I'm so far gone
Cause beneath the surface
Cracks have grown for far too long
If all I am is brokenness
How can I go on?
Go on

And when my rhythm falters
How do I still march on?
And when the waves crash over me
How do I stand strong?
I've been battered by the storms
Within me too long
Too long

When my rhythm falters
How do I still march on?
And when the waves crash over me
How do I stand strong?
I've been battered by the storms
Too long
