Burden

All these countless years
Chasing a new light
Inane from empty promises
Wandering in life
Torn from the inside out
With nothing left to guide me home

I might have wasted your time
I might have pulled it apart
I've watched it from afar
But I had, but I had enough

This burden has brought me to my knees
As everything I once deemed safe
Has turned its back on me
In the wake of every night
I've been searching for an answer
But the questions don't seem right

Paralysed
Every time I open up my eyes
I can't become more
Paralysed
Every time I open up my eyes
Wishing for a world I understand

All these countless years
Chasing a new light
Inane from empty promises
Wandering in life
Torn from the inside out
With nothing left to guide me home

I pushed my weaknesses away
But it doesn't ease the pain of my regrets
Like tarnished petals from a slow decay
Dreams becoming frail
With every choice I make

Paralysed

Every time I open up my eyes
Paralysed

Fearing that my strength will not prevail

This burden has brought me to my knees
As everything I once deemed safe
Has turned its back on me
In the wake of every night
I've been searching for an answer
But the questions are hiding from myself

Too much to take
Too far, too late
To witness everything
Wither away

For so long I've kept this burden
Will you carry me?
To the place where I don't let my life
Wither away

For so long I've kept this burden
Will you carry me?
To the place where I don't let my life
Wither away

Wither away
