Lyrics
Limping and panting
I drag across the floor
Slipping through the fissures
In the fractures
This world I embraced
Left its mark on my face
Im wilting but not standing still
I'm digging a hole
With pride in my hands
Sifting through this arbitrary madness
The deeper I go
The darker it gets
I'm wounded but not standing still
Take this burden off my shoulders
Let me break its strangling hands
Take this burden off my shoulders
Let me climb into the night
Bruised and battered
The blisters in my heart
Are burning in a raging revolution
Demanding I dig till
Sense comes home
And treason's gagged and bound against the wall
Such heartfelt chatter
Your guillotine words
They're making for an awful conversation
But my back is getting weaker
As the air keeps getting thicker
A sudden silence breaks the hull
Yeah my breath is thinning quicker
And the world is looking bleaker
And the canary has wept its final song
Take this burden off my shoulders
Let me raise these fighting hands
Take this burden off my shoulders
Let me climb into the night
Take this burden off my shoulders
Let me break its frightening hands
Raise this curse you've put me under
Let me clamber to the night
