lyrics

Walking home, the crisp in the air
Just like an oak, I feel the leaves tear off.
You are, the reason I can't go outside
If I told you I was comfortable, I would have lied
Ya, I would have lied

The storm starts coming in
The water rises with my temper
Oh it's over now
I said I wouldn't be here much longer

nothing but a shift in the sand
the pressure breaks me down
this time I know now
the breeze will carry me away this time for good

But There's too much to bear and burden
You start to see the power in the knife
you have gotten the best of me
that it paralyzes my thoughts and consumes my life

The rain keeps falling downward
I'm drowning in my sleep
Always trying to move forward, going nowhere
These secrets I cannot keep
Take away the burden
Take away the strife
Take away the sensation
Take away my, take away my life

Everything you ever said was a lie, its not like you know about compromise
cause every honest effort, has left me a contender, for seeking out to measure, just an ounce of pleasure.
I don't want to be one to just get by. An afterthought, some other guy
you were everything that i never needed

Take away the burden
Take away the strife
Take away the sensation
Take away my life

Everything you ever said was a lie
its not like you know about compromise
(Take away the burden)
cause every honest effort, has left me a contender, for seeking out to measure, just an ounce of pleasure.
(Take away the strife)
I dont want to be one to just get by. An afterthought, some other guy
(Take away the sensation)
you were everything that i never needed
(Take away my life)
