Burdens

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
