The Burden Lyrics

[Intro]
(There's God)
(There's God)
(There's God)

[Verse 1]
There's God
Can I feed you again?
Will I have to stay dumb?
You can feel, and it begins
But I know inside this heart attack
I can see through your eyes
I'm terrified of everything
But it's no real surprise
Because the parasites are dancing closer
All this sacrilegion warns in posters
Can you handle it?

[Verse 2]
In the dark
Why I think I'm alone?
I sweat through my visions
I'm going too cold
Today is a tragedy
In the mouth of the mad
But that doesn't matter now
I've come home relaxed
I'm curled up in a ball and shaking
I'm hiding from the hell I'm making
I can't believe the chance I'm taking
Is there any other way? Is there any other way?

[Chorus]
The burden
The burden

[Brige]
You can't save me
There is nothing more to give
I am changing
Almost like I never lived
Be my witness
Just don't leave me in suspense
Keep this, prove it
Tell them all the consequences

[Chorus]
The burden
Have you ever been burdened before?
The burden
Was there anything you wanted more?

[Bridge]
You can't save me
There is nothing more to give
I am changing
Almost like I never lived
Be my witness
Just don't leave me in suspense
Keep this, prove it
Tell them all the consequences

[Outro]
Our same plea
By now you know that looks are deceiving
I'm covered in a rash and receding
Is there any other way? Is there any other way?
For Gods' sakes, we've suffered, this pain is now our lives
For Gods' sakes, we've suffered enough
For Gods' sakes, we've suffered, this pain is now our lives
For Gods' sakes, we've suffered enough
For Gods' sakes, we've suffered, this pain is now our lives
For Gods' sakes, we've suffered enough
For Gods' sakes, we've suffered, this pain is now our lives
For Gods' sakes, we've suffered enough, enough, enough, enough
