To Be a Burden

Keep your eyes on the prize
Those weary eyes
And in that moment they dry out
Dressed up in courage
An acceptable disguise
Display a need to define doubt

I recall a dream
Where others were kinder
And rather than always shrink
Horizons grew wider
And wider

Its already late
And we're still engaged in a standoff
Our feet digging into a soil eroding away
Bonds are erased
Faster than they even can talk
Infinitesimal spirits
Always have so much to say

I recall a dream
Where others were kinder
And rather than always shrink
Horizons grew wider
And now that im always awake
It's always uncertain
Whether life is meant for enrichment, or to be a burden

Keep your eyes on the prize
Those weary eyes
We're almost there, no one can stop us now
Walls drawing nearer
Of adversity and lies
We cant afford another road leading south

If you show me a dream, Where others were kinder
And rather than always shrink
Horizons grew wider
Well maybe I'd chose not to wake
If it could be certain
That life isnt meant for enrichment, But to be a burden

To be a burden
