The Burden
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Is it necessary to try to carry this burden alone.
If it were any other day I would stay to satisfy
the urge for hope! But its dead, I'm running away.
It's so real, he said to the man with time on his hands.
I don't think your ready,
and I don't think I am ready to know.
It's so real, he said to the man with time on his hands.
I don't think your ready to go,
and I don't think I am ready to know.
Is it necessary to leave us all behind.
In the smoke filled room my eyes will dry with the world on my shoulders.
Waiting for light to show a path cause I can't do this by myself,
do this by myself!
It's so real, he said to the man with time on his hands.
I don't think your ready,
and I don't think I am ready to know.
It's so real, he said to the man with time on his hands.
I don't think your ready, and I don't think I am ready to know. [x4]
