The Burden
This aint no schoolhouse, no Reverend stays
Monsters live and they take away
A place where your problems
You seem to trade
An easy life for a guilty grave
Sinking battle ships & hide & seek
The little things they'll never see
The Wait is the hardest thing
Will she see the magnolias spring
Oh the weight
Where's your Mother
Your Father dear
No one here to bend your ear
Where's the talker the one who claimed
He'd be with you all his days
Sinking battle ships & hide & seek
The little things they'd never see
The Wait is the hardest thing
Will she see the magnolias spring
Oh the weight
I killed her a thousand times
But every way I played it in my mind
My heart just couldn't take that sort of crime
"Hey there Mama will you braid my hair
Toothless smile with dramatic flair
Born on a Tuesday brown hair and brown eyes
8 Lbs. of something that was surely mine
Smells like springtime and candy rain
The perfect burden, I'd never trade
The Wait is the hardest thing
She loves to see the magnolia's spring
Oh the weight
The wait, is the hardest thing
Monsters live and they take away
A place where your problems
You seem to trade
An easy life for a guilty grave
Sinking battle ships & hide & seek
The little things they'll never see
The Wait is the hardest thing
Will she see the magnolias spring
Oh the weight
Where's your Mother
Your Father dear
No one here to bend your ear
Where's the talker the one who claimed
He'd be with you all his days
Sinking battle ships & hide & seek
The little things they'd never see
The Wait is the hardest thing
Will she see the magnolias spring
Oh the weight
I killed her a thousand times
But every way I played it in my mind
My heart just couldn't take that sort of crime
"Hey there Mama will you braid my hair
Toothless smile with dramatic flair
Born on a Tuesday brown hair and brown eyes
8 Lbs. of something that was surely mine
Smells like springtime and candy rain
The perfect burden, I'd never trade
The Wait is the hardest thing
She loves to see the magnolia's spring
Oh the weight
The wait, is the hardest thing
