lyrics

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 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
