Burden

Lyrics

[Intro: Tim Lambesis] Release this burden Burden [Verse 1: Tim Lambesis] I'm far from perfect But what I gave you was a gift Expecting so little I never cared if you came or left Moving on No one will ever live in our shoes and No one will ever know the full truth so I choose to let the music itself Speak volumes about you [Guitar Solo: Ken Susi] [Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis] Nothing but deadweight Seeing the world all expenses paid [Chorus: Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis] And now I've carried the weight I've carried the weight Of your burden long enough And I listened as you fabricate Till the truth just fades away But it's you that starts to fade [Verse 2: Tim Lambesis] So caught in the past A legacy you hardly built While here in reality I sadly witnessed your intellect wilt You hardly wrote a note Like a well-dressed ghost That learned to feed off us As a virus to a host [Guitar Solo: Phil Sgrosso] [Chorus: Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis] And now I've carried the weight Of your burden long enough And I listened as you fabricate Till the truth just fades away But it's you that starts to fade [Pre-Breakdown: Tim Lambesis] Fade away Fade away I've had this millstone around my neck (fade away) Long enough (fade away) Burden [Breakdown: Tim Lambesis] Deadweight, burden It's become clear that you are just deadweight (deadweight) That's been released to sink Release [Guitar Solo: Phil Sgrosso] [Chorus: Ryan Neff] And now I've carried the weight I've carried the weight Of your burden long enough And I listened as you fabricate Till the truth just fades away But it's you that starts to fade [Post-Chorus: Tim Lambesis] It's become clear that you are just deadweight That's been released to sink Release [Breakdown: Tim Lambesis] Burden, deadweight, burden
