The Burden

(album: Earthbound - 2016)

I should have been the first to know
When the cracks began to show.
I guess I feel so.
I guess I feel so lost in the crowd.
Not wanting to be found.
We have to rise above,
I just have to, I just have to.

Hail no hero, fear no evil.

So this is how I've become, a man alone, set free.
The only way to survive, integrity
The path I've walked down is one of uncertainty.
So now the burden has gone, I can believe.
Just let it all go.

See what I have seen.
Believe, believe
Feel what I have felt
Believe

I have seen the depths of misery.
Just one more year of this?
I don't think so, I don't think so.
So I'll pass on the torch and I free myself from chains.
I hope you can, I hope you can.

Hail no hero, fear no evil.

So this is how I've become, a man alone, set free.
The only way to survive, integrity
The path I've walked down is one of uncertainty.
So now the burden has gone, I can believe.
Just let it all go.

I can believe

So take your cross back, and free me from the burden.
So weightless I am lifted, and I'll let you feel your body sink.
So take your cross back, and free me from the burden.
So weightless I am lifted, and I'll let you feel your body sink.

So this is how I've become, a man alone, set free.
The only way to survive, integrity
The path I've walked down is one of uncertainty.
So now the burden has gone, I can believe.
