Burdened By Hope

(album: Line In The Sand - 2013)

If I wasn't born to lose then why do I keep crumbling?
I can feel the place that I call home
And every step I take, I'm pulled three back
I see the sea of faces
With their hearts on their sleeves
They stare and do nothing
For all my screams

You liar! You fake!
You spit poison in my face
You liar! You fake!
I'll never heed the words you say
And even when I'm at the end of my rope
I'm broken and hungry and burdened by hope
I will push you away
You liar! You fake!

These cries are growing louder with each and every step
How long 'til I'm done taking whatever I can get?
And I regret the lies I tell myself
These words are lacking substance
I need to break these wretched chains

You liar! You fake!
You spit poison in my face
You liar! You fake!
I'll never heed the words you say
And even when I'm at the end of my rope
I'm broken and hungry and burdened by hope
I will push you away
You liar! You fake!

I will not sacrifice the way I live
It's all for something more
Something more
Something more

I don't believe you
I don't believe a word that you say
Because I know there's something more
I don't believe you
I'll never fall for the games that you play
Because I know there's something more
