Burden

I need to escape, I must break free
These chains of depression have taken hold of me
The nights grow longer no fear within
My minds at war with the fear of sin
(It never ends) in my life I can’t forget
(My life a constant descent) past mistakes I still regret
(I am) I can’t escape from the things I’ve done
(The king of nothing) I tried to hide, and I tried to run
From the pain that’s eaten away
At my insides every day
No shelter from my own dismay
Where I roam it rains
I look unto myself with disdain
You could never relate
To my qualms with life, don’t speak my name
(It never ends) In my life I can’t forget
(My life, a constant descent) Past mistakes I still regret
(I am) I can’t escape from things I’ve done
(The king) Of nothing
I tried to hide, I tried to run
And look up to you as a son
Wanting some but getting none
But those days are gone and now I’m done
