Lyrics

Control

This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it is present
You say that you're in control
You say that you are
I can't think of a time
When you looked less alive
You said, "Wait until light, my dear"
Just wait until light
One more day will go by
Maybe today you should try
Look past the mirror and find
Look past the mirror
That there's something inside
Something more to your life
My words won't heal you now
My words won't heal
It is you who decides
It is you who decides
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
I assure you
Believe that you are just fine
Believe that you are
You'll feel so alive
You'll feel so alive
Be what you are now (be what you are)
Be what you are
Do not keep it inside
That hate will not subside
Be what you are now (be what you are)
Be what you are
Do not keep it inside
That hate will not subside
It's you, decide
It's you, decide
So alive
So alive
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure, I assure you
This burden's not a heavy one
Not a heavy one
Not a heavy one.

    Alexisonfire - Otherness

    Proving themselves a band still deserving of the throne, if change really is as good as a rest, it’s no shock that - with both now under their belt - Alexisonfire sound fresher than ever.
