Burden As I Lay Dying

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
Till 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
