Burdens - Hundredth

Remove the shadows from my eyes

Chains locked and tied across the door

He thinks himself a heroine, tie and run

He is the needle, I am the damage done

My anger is a gift my mind trained my eyes to see

The difference between who I am and the man I want to be

Closed off and silent, fear lashed and left this scar

A wall that won’t come down until I know that I know who you are

Tear it down

I’m torn open and spilling out

All my burdens bury me

Restless soul still wrestling

I’ve felt it closing in on me

For far too long

I feel it

I feel it crawling in my skin

It’s going back and forth and then back again

Why does it feel so desperate?

Acceptance, it feels so fucking pointless

A fleeting feeling, a means to an end

Like resurrecting a monument only to tear it down again

Tear it down

I’m torn open and spilling out

All my burdens bury me

Restless soul still wrestling

I’ve felt it closing in on me

For far too long

Remove the shadows from my eyes

Chains locked and tied across the door

He thinks himself a heroine, tie and run

He is the needle, I am the damage done
