Bear the Weight

Strip me to my core
Close these vacant doors
Just to be sure

We've been hollowed out
Knees bent and heads bowed
Then drowned in our doubt

Lies come from their mouths
(Just you wait 'til the world falls apart)

We bear the weight
To defend the man
Who would fall in your place
At the hands of a king
Who is lost

See how we're bled dry?
The sky runs red tonight
Veins torn open wide

Alone is how we die
(They consume)
(Blood spills from the open wound)
(Cut too deep to start to heal)
(The only thing we'll ever feel)
(Try to make the moment last)
(Even when they break your back)
(This might be the only time)
(You'll know you're alive)

We bear the weight
To defend the man
Who would fall in your place
At the hands of a king
Who is lost

The view of the horizon
Must be nice from up inside
The ivory tower
So sit and find watching
Through eyes so blind that
Nothing ever could go wrong

We bear the weight
To defend the man
Who would fall in your place
At the hands of a king
Who is lost

We bear the weight
To defend the man
Who would fall in your place
At the hands of a king
Who is lost
