Burden of Pain

[Intro] [Verse] Eyes red raw The tears start to flow Fingers tearing at my chest Feeling the pain grow (pain grow) Rip out the beating Useless stupid thing In the darkness I am lost Wearing the weight of a broken heart [Verse 2] A moment in the light Memories burned in my soul Changed forever Scars that won't heal Taking their toll I won't let go Even though it brings me pain For the happiness I had I'll endure the strain [Chorus] This pain is my burden My cross to bear I feel the snake inside Twisting and tearing with despair As the world slips away I'm left to fall Into the abyss Awaiting birds of prey to feast upon me Give me strength to rise above it all [Verse] Just Put out my senses Leave me deaf and blind To forget would be a crime I won't leave it behind I want the pain to be unbearable Feel it throughout all time To let it go would diminish it; this I will not do [Verse 2] So I stand on the edge of the void Gazing out into the darkness There is a weight upon my soul A burden I cannot harness I see a glimmering light But it's so far away I reach out But cannot touch its beauty [Chorus] This pain is my burden My cross to bear I feel the snake inside Twisting and tearing with despair As the world slips away I'm left to fall Into the abyss Awaiting birds of prey to feast upon me Give me strength to rise above it all [Outro]
