Lyrics for Burden

Release this burden Burden 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 Nothing but deadweight Seeing the world all expenses paid And now I've carried the weight I've carried the weight Of your burden long enough And I listened as you fabricate 'Til the truth just fades away But it's you that starts to fade 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 And now I've carried the weight Of your burden long enough And I listened as you fabricate 'Til the truth just fades away But it's you that starts to fade Fade away Fade away I've had this millstone around my neck (fade away) Long enough Burden Deadweight Burden It's become clear that you are just deadweight (deadweight) That's been released to sink Release And now I've carried the weight I've carried the weight Of your burden long enough And I listened as you fabricate 'Til the truth just fades away But it's you that starts to fade It's become clear that you are just deadweight That's been released to sink Release Burden Deadweight Burden
