Keep me close and medicate the pain
Are you the loss or the gain?
Wishing to keep these things the same
Feeling too pale and plain
And then the room starts to spin again
Keep me close and medicate the pain
Are you the loss or the gain?
Wishing to keep these things the same
Feeling too pale and plain
You were the rose in the frame
So say you lost it all
And you’ll wait on my call
Let you down after all
I want to be so proud and pure
But I’m just stuck and so unsure
A mirror reflects what you don’t want to see
But still we are longing for more
You glance and you crave all that you’ll never be
Accepting the things you ignore
And you’ll wait on my call
Let you down after all
I want to be so proud and pure
But I’m just stuck and so unsure
There’s a word I’ve been thinking about
It’s a word that I can’t say out loud
So help me out now
Maybe I need a pill to balance my brain
Pull away the pain so I can feel the same
And you’ll wait on my call
Let you down after all
I want to be so proud and pure
But I’m just stuck and so unsure

Blooming

Falling in and out of frame again
But god, you know me well
I’m still running backwards into all my faults
I swear I felt it
Drown the choir cause they said I’m wrong
Dressed in my best attire, and I’ll be the one who will tear you apart if I could
The silence says it all cause there’s nothing left to say and I sure do miss the colour
But I’m fine with all the grey
And that’s when I swore you said that you felt it, when you felt dead
Drown the choir cause they said I’m wrong
Dressed in my best attire and I’ll be the one who will tear you apart if I could
My roots are planted and I’m still alive
I don’t know where to go, but I know that I’ll survive
So what’s been blooming in that headache of yours?
Drown the choir cause they said I’m wrong
Dressed in my best attire and I’ll be the one who will tear you apart if I could
My roots are planted and I’m still alive
I don’t know where to go, but I know that I’ll survive
Why fall in love with the flowers that die in first frost?
What’s gonna stay warm when you grow cold?
Cause I think winter’s here to stay

A Search for Solace

Eventually my lungs will breathe some life into this mess i’ve made
So sell my doubt
Then pull me out
And I’ll settle for the days
Where these things seemed so irrelevant
Face it
I’ve got this nothing inside but I swear I’m alive
They said
Well I’ve been waiting for days where I don’t feel contrived
Don’t say you’ll settle for less because you’ve got nothing left
I still fail to see the sun
And I’m at my worst like it’s well rehearsed
I still fail to see the sun
And I know
I’ll put your memories in a coffin
I swear I'll dig them up one day
You said that this could be easy
But I've found no other way
And I get so caught up in the things I can’t change
I still fail to see the sun
And I’m at my worst like it’s well rehearsed
I still fail to see the sun
And I know
I thought I said it all, so just believe in me and I’ll never leave
And I’m hollow again
How do I always end up like this?
Always starved in the end but I never
And I’m hollow again, how do I always end up like this?
Always starved in the end. Always starved in the end
I still fail to see the sun
And I’m at my worst like it’s well rehearsed
I still fail to see the sun
And I know
And I'm hollow again

Life’s a frail word, broken, unrehearsed and the actors lines are wrong
Please just wait your turn, it’s not your concern, never said that I was strong
These words they hold no meaning and these walls are paper thin
You can hold it all together or just let it all cave in
Was it worth it, believing you had purpose?
Did you expect to leave it all behind?
I couldn't grow from withered seeds the conditions just weren't right
By morning clarity succeeds and it all repeats by night
Your breath hangs in the air suspending your beliefs
I never said it’s fair it’s just what has to be
Was it worth it, believing you had purpose?
Did you expect to leave it all behind?
Can you press through this bitter weather?
Is the message still clouded in your mind?
I'm still clouded in your mind

A Call for Closure

Did you think for a second I’d lie?
Was it all the same, am I still to blame?
No, I was good as gone
You?
You were so good at taking your time
And taking control of my life
You still live a life, running from a lie, and now I’m let down
Lying to yourself, try and work it out, I know you will
Hear me out
And see if the reasons will find their way out in the end
Fade out again, yeah I’ll disappear
(I swear that I’m better than this)
Asleep at the wheel
Try to forget
Just let me breathe I’ll take care of the rest
And I won’t let you down
I won’t let you drown
It was never enough to call it a home
I was afraid when I was alone
Whisper these secrets and tear me apart
I’ll leave you with nothing before I depart
Hear me out
And see if the reasons will find their way out in the end
Fade out again, yeah I’ll disappear
(I swear that I’m better than this)
Asleep at the wheel
Try to forget
Just let me breathe I’ll take care of the rest
And I won’t let you drown
I won’t let you drown
I will let you down
But I won’t let you drown
I can’t
You’re just youthful and arrogant
Know what you’re up against
I’ve got the upper hand
Now you are stuck again

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

Amazing songs,KSE lyrics helps me a lot,i lost my father recently(2020). The time where i was really close with him was in summer 2007 and i listened a lot to ADD Album at the time. So hearing KSE always reminds me of him,r.i.p. Jesse leach is an amazing vocalist and lyricist,howard too. love 'em both. Adam is a genius period. Mike's an amazing drawer/artist and bass player. Joel and justin are rythm legends,scott (old drummer i think)was a beast too. God bless you KSE cheers from France
