I Didn't Want To Wake Up

Sleeping in cycles and you'll never know
Haunt me forever or just let me go
Filter my faults and I pray that I stay
Distill these nightmares that won't go away
So is everything the way you thought it'd be? Or still empty?
Just let me breathe
There’s wars we fight against ourselves, and no one's set to make it out
Settle, sink, pretend
The pages are filled in the end
Settle, sink, pretend
Fade out and follow the note
and I don’t think, that it’s worth it
To race a clock and think that you will finish in time
So settle, sink, pretend
And I'll stay alone
So is everything the way you thought it'd be? Or still empty?
Just let me breathe
There’s wars we fight against ourselves, and no one's set to make it out
Just let me go
Hollow and haunted my mind in the end
Rope at the gallows, a lonely lament
We’re all just trying to make it out
Why make it hard for someone else?
Will this be enough for you?
Cause I can’t seem to figure out
Silence fills an open room
And I'm sure I can't pretend

I blame myself for all the things I left unsaid and all the writing’s on the walls
I feel that I set myself up for failure but never figured out
This hollow advice
I stopped believing in the words I couldn’t finalize
Believe, I can’t be there alone again
But I’ll just hold myself back
It’s settled I’m settling back into all my old ways
Its better than broken, and sometimes that’s all we need
So helplessly we suspend
I’m overthinking this over and over again
Delighted, we’ll all feel lost well who knows?
But it won’t make a difference
We’ll never make a difference
Well I’ve been thinking of ways to hide, disappear but still be alive
So tell me what you think, was it worth it?
Over and over again and again
So will you trace the lines, or will you just pretend?
So helplessly we suspend
I’m overthinking this over and over again
Delighted, we’ll all feel lost well who knows?
But it won’t make a difference
We’ll never make a difference
Just save yourself cause I can’t believe
What’s left, left for me?
I never said I never wanted all of this
Let’s let the chemicals collide

Say you want to trust in me
There's silences in between
Pull me out again and save me from who I was, what they want, and everything
This feels like letting go
I feel I'm sinking this is all I'll ever know
We'll need a stronger dose
I'm tangled up in this
I feel I’m sinking this is all I'll ever know
We'll need a stronger dose
Still tangled up in this
We’ll stay afloat on paper boats
And I'll leave this alone
Oh how sweet the sound
This silence makes me feel home
And I'll leave this alone
Faking this fiction is all that know
This feels like letting go and I won’t be alone
I feel I'm sinking this is all I'll ever know
We'll need a stronger dose
I'm tangled up in this
I feel I’m sinking this is all I'll ever know
We'll need a stronger dose
Still tangled up in this
We’ll stay afloat on paper boats
You fit uncomfortably in tailored skin, and I am done with it
Things might be better off this way.
It's over and I think that I'll remember
I feel I'm sinking this is all I'll ever know
We'll need a stronger dose
I'm tangled up in this
I feel I’m sinking this is all I'll ever know
We'll need a stronger dose
Still tangled up in this
We’ll stay afloat on paper boats

Just hear me out
I’ll paint the scene, eyes shut again
Try not to dream - I’m just pretending
Drain out the gold, make me alive
Nothing to hold - leaving me paralyzed
You were all that I know
We could sell these lies and be good as gold
I wanted to be lost with you
But now I know, you’re all I know
Just look on the bright side is all that you’ll say
Well my silver lining has tarnished to grey
Things aren’t as gold as they seemed
I just keep clinging to dreams that won’t help me
You were all that I know
We could sell these lies and be good as gold
I wanted to be lost with you
But now I know, you’re all I know
Sad you were wrong
We can hide away, from painted fears
The cloud graced days, and stained cheek tears
But I was never awake
Just a promise you won’t make
Stay gold, stay golden

Synesthesia

Everything changed in an instant
And I’m still not sure why
I marked my place on the map
Held out my heart to the sky
And there’s nothing worth noting
No accomplishments made
I’m always dreaming of leaving
Then wishing I stayed
It might be the fever, I haven’t felt right in days
Reflecting myself in the worst kind of ways
And so I’ll write myself off
I hope I cut through the noise
Cause these are the feelings I’ve tried to avoid
Still I’m drowning in doubt
I hope I figure it out, I know I’ll figure it out
And so I’ll drown in this doubt
But I swear this sinking feeling won’t get the best of me

Writing this letter, I’ve been thinking of where to begin
In and out and I’ll breathe in the oxygen
In and out, yeah I’ll start thinking for myself again
Anxiety, drips over and under me but I can’t breathe
Will I be alright? Or will this be the reason I can’t sleep at night?
I just keep fighting it’s all I have
I’ve got this feeling, that it won’t be enough again
I’ll write these letters, addressed to the past
I know you won’t read them but it’s the way these things last
And we can sleep in the shade, bask in the glory of a rainy parade
I swear I’ll try and never let you down
But still you’ve got me all figured out
I’ll fade away, you’ll stare through me
A well composed transparency
I just keep fighting it’s all I have
I’ve got this feeling, that it won’t be enough again
‘Cause i’m a crystal bouquet, yeah I’m a gift to behold
But you just can’t be bothered, no; you’re more into gold
And I can’t make up for all the things that I lack
So I’ll just have to figure it out
In and out and I’ll breathe in the oxygen
In and out, yeah I’ll start thinking for myself again
Anxiety, drips over and under me but I can’t breathe
Will I be alright? Or will this be the reason I can’t sleep at night?
So just let go, I swear I might
I’m sick of the words I can’t seem to get right
This hollow example of what I’ll never be
A well composed transparency

Sleep again we’ll go away from the doubt
Dream again and then we’ll figure it out
And this place may seem familiar
But I can’t believe
That I could crave the worst of this sympathy
These words still hollow out
Carve shapes and see
The worst in you it got the best of me
If all we are is broken from the start
Then what’s the point of being honest?
Please forgive the broken promises
I can’t believe that I just can’t seem to shake this off of me
Soak through my withered bones the only thing that I could ever know
Oh please believe, it’s in the words and the way you say them
(Oh my god please believe)
Oh my god I know we’re drowning in doubt
This is happening again
I should know myself, we’re drowning
If all we are is broken from the start
Then what’s the point of being honest?
Please forgive the broken promises
I can’t believe that I just can’t seem to shake this off of me
Soak through my withered bones the only thing that I could ever know
So why can’t we just think this out?
And think about all the things that we’re saying?
And if you stare at the sun for long enough maybe you’ll leave yourself blind to everything
Was it worth it? To find yourself gripping onto everything?
Well I keep thinking about they way I’ve been, a paler shade of blue, and how I’m not enough for you
So I want to know, if I was the worst in you

Tell me I’m worth the space on a calendar page
We need some clarity
Cause this static noise is killing me
Just admit that you’re wrong
Cause I just want to belong
Don’t say you’ll pray for me, cause that won’t change a thing
(No it won’t)
Fit the concept
These simple things
Wish I could save this
It won’t make a difference either way
I think it’s safe to say we couldn’t be any different
But stay the same
Just save yourself I couldn’t be that brave
It’s just another case of not knowing when to give up
But my limbs are tired, enough’s enough
I just need some balance in all of this, I’m tired of asking for forgiveness
Chemicals and heart attacks, you’ll never admit to the things that you lack
No you’ll never admit to a thing
I just want to know what it means
Is it worth it? Will it always be?
Options are incomplete
Slipping through static
I hope you can forgive me
This signal’s fading - cut the transmission

Sinking Feeling

So tell me what you need I’ll find a way to let you down
And scatter the remains of what we lost and never found
I’ll flood my fears and fade away and find myself alone again
I've got this sinking feeling and I don't know how to swim
With feet more fit for anchors, do I give up or give in?
There's this light in sight, but I just close my eyes instead
I'm starving for attention with a stomach full of dread
I’m tripping on my words again and I don’t think it’s right
There’s things inside this head of mine that keep me up at night
And I swear to you that I’ll let you down, but not now
I’m sorry for the things I can’t control
I thought I’d let you know
I've got this sinking feeling and I don't know how to swim
With feet more fit for anchors, do I give up or give in?
There's this light in sight, but I just close my eyes instead
I'm starving for attention with a stomach full of dread
I feel I’m sinking again
I don’t know why I pretend
I’ll sip the medicine I don’t care if I get better
Cause I’ll just dive right in, self induce the stormy weather
And I swear that I’m sinking, I’ve got so much left to give
If I make it out alive I swear I’ll learn how to live
I’m sorry for the things I can’t control
I've got this sinking feeling and I don't know how to swim
With feet more fit for anchors, do I give up or give in?
There's this light in sight, but I just close my eyes instead
I'm starving for attention with a stomach full of dread

Hear me out
We’ll need to find a better way to work this out
Send out a search party they’ll never find me
Down and out, living alone with a head full of doubt
I never wanted to be loved by you
Oh no, I never wanted to be loved by you
Then again will you say the words I need to hear?
So well rehearsed, let’s act the lines and convince them we’re just fine
I’m still breathing, can’t stop dreaming
I was over it and overrated, I was all but yours
Tell me again you are
Let’s act the lines and convince them we’re just fine
I’m still breathing, but I can’t believe it
I’m still breathing
I was over it and overrated, I was all but yours
Tell me again you are
I never wanted to be loved by you

Swear that you’re trying to work this out
But what’s there left to say? Cause I’m alone again
This static’s pulling and pushing apart; flawed by design
So try to cling back and fall away
Take back the focus again
The vision’s blurry but the image seems to be the same
I won’t be able to breathe, maybe that’s just what I need, cause what’s the point of being used?
I think it’s safe to say that we’re lost in this
But cling onto what you know and I’ll meet you there
What’s the purpose of it all?
Repeat my lines and then
Maybe it’s better when I fall
Eyes closed and start again
Cause I’ve been dreaming again
But I swear that I’m fine
I hope the guilt you feel
Weighs you down over time
And it’s not worth it, do I wait it out?
Build a new life while you drown in your doubt?
These fleeting fixes won’t last in the end
I’m not alright but at least I pretend
You can’t keep fading, evading everything
I think it’s safe to say that we’re lost in this
But cling onto what you know and I’ll meet you there
What’s the purpose of it all?
Repeat my lines and then
Maybe it’s better when I fall
Eyes closed and start again
I’m waiting for nothing when you can’t decide
Scream “Am I not enough?”
All we’re left with is all the promises you never kept
I’m giving up
And now I’ll learn to live without
This sinking, this settling, these thoughts of doubt

The hospital these sick sad dizzy spells
No need to be scared
Cause everything is always left behind
Let’s make it out in time
Let’s fade, dissolve into the sun
We have to leave here
Sing the praise and lose myself again
Just keep on breathing
Safe and sound
Your words they speak so loud
But now I’m numb..
And always so aware of my faults
Let’s fade, dissolve into the sun
We have to leave here
Sing the praise and lose myself again
Just keep on breathing
Drown, I’ll flail and find myself, but now I’m numb
And I’ll fall, without any words to back it up
Keep it vague is all
Safe and sound your words they speak too loud
So tell me what to think cause I can’t say I’m too sure
It’s a constant battle and I’m not sure what for
The way we read the lines, translate and then compare
This ghost still haunts these halls and you were never really there
What’s the purpose?
You’ll get what you deserve

Well there are some words not meant to be spoken
But you caught on a little too late
Caught biting your tongue with promises broken
Never one proud of your traits
But you've lost your touch
And now I'm afraid it's a little too much
To just forgive and then forget
Fighting yourself with the goals that you've set
Please stay in line and focus the weight of the world to the back of your mind
Please live for now, and put all that pressure on somebody else
Cause your heart was a promise not meant to be broken and words left your lips like a key that was spoken
Your vision starts blurring and then you forget the one you're becoming is one that you'll regret

The Burden Prince George, British Columbia
The Burden is as much a band as they are a journey into the shadows of the heart. Drawing on elements of the glory days of post-hardcore and weaving them with intricate and honest reflections of love and loss, the band’s continual rise is only amplified by their unapologetic approach to raw lyricism and therapeutic song writing. ... more

Great screamo band, aquamarine takes the cake, balladlike, screamoperfect, showcases the lead guitar and voice of the band, is it the same guy? Do a ballad like skid row" I remember you " but hard, and you'll get farther.... take the constructive criticism, lead guitar and lead voice ballad = sells more copies than anything you ever did ever and ever again. Id bet ya muh paycheck. or. whatever. I apologize for being a dick, but right. lol smoochies to the motherfucking boochies.
