As I Lay Dying Burden Lyrics

Release this burden
Burden

I'm far from perfect
But what I gave you was a gift
Expecting so little
I never cared if you came or left

Moving on
No one will ever live in our shoes and
No one will ever know the full truth so
I choose to let the music itself
Speak volumes about you
Nothing but deadweight
Seeing the world all expenses paid

And now I've carried the weight
I've carried the weight
Of your burden long enough
And I listened as you fabricate
Till the truth just fades away
But it's you that starts to fade

So caught in the past
A legacy you hardly built
While here in reality
I sadly witnessed your intellect wilt
You hardly wrote a note
Like a well-dressed ghost
That learned to feed off us As a virus to a host

And now I've carried the weight
Of your burden long enough
And I listened as you fabricate
Till the truth just fades away
But it's you that starts to fade

Fade away
Fade away
I've had this millstone around my neck (fade away)
Long enough (fade away)
Burden, deadweight, burden
It's become clear that you are just deadweight (deadweight)
That's been released to sink
Release

And now I've carried the weight
I've carried the weight
Of your burden long enough
And I listened as you fabricate
Till the truth just fades away
But it's you that starts to fade

It's become clear that you are just deadweight
That's been released to sink
Release
Burden, deadweight, burden
