"Burden" lyrics

"Burden"

I throw it away
Walking the silent road
It comes to me so vividly
With the brush strokes
Mechanical man
Dangerous and without a plan
So silently come to me
I'll wash it all away

So I'm left to be a castaway
And bury all this weight
I covered it inside
And watched it all decay

Take it all
Until I can't breathe at all
And the trembling is all I can rely on
Mechanical man
Desperate and without a plan
So silently come to me
I'll wash it all away

So I'm left to be a castaway
And bury all this weight
I covered it inside
And watched it all decay

My mind is hidden from itself
I can't remember anything
My past in pieces
I'm afraid and I don't know what I am
And I don't know where to turn
But I'll learn
I'll learn

Take aim at the heart of the sun
This life has just begun

I hear it call to me again
To greet my hubris with a grin
A spread of jokers in my hand
To take me down and down again
I feel my bones are weakening
This weight I cannot take it
The gateway is gone
Abandon the sun

I feel the dawn of reckoning
When the veiled meets the world
I feel your hold is weakening
When I sing I will be heard
I will be heard
I will be heard
I wish I could be heard
I will be heard
I wish I could be heard
