Burden

Release this burden
Burden

I'm far from perfect
But what I gave you was a gift
Expecting so little
I never cared if you came or left
Moving on

No one will ever live in our shoes and
No one will ever know the full truth, so
I choose to let the music itself
Speak volumes about you
Nothing but deadweight
Seeing the world, all expenses paid

And now I've carried the weight
I've carried the weight
Of your burden long enough
And I listen as you fabricate
Till the truth just fades away
But it's you that starts to fade

Still caught in the past
A legacy you hardly built
While here, in reality
I sadly witnessed your intellect wilt
You hardly wrote a note
Like a well dressed ghost (like a well dressed ghost)
That learned to feed off us
As a virus to a host

And now I've carried the weight
Of your burden long enough
And I listen as you fabricate
Till the truth just fades away
But it's you that starts to fade

Fade away, fade away
I've had this millstone around my neck
Long enough

Burden, deadweight, burden
It's become clear that you are just deadweight (deadweight)
That's been released to sink, release

And now I've carried the weight
I've carried the weight
Of your burden long enough
And I listen as you fabricate
Till the truth just fades away
But it's you that starts to fade

It's become clear that you are just deadweight
That's been released to sink, release
Burden, deadweight, burden
