Obligation has plagued my mind I will answer the call if you break my fall Encumbrance of the damage inside It's abolished my will as it crosses the threshold And my door is always closed I slip below My intent to persuade you This lie serenades you And nothing else discards As it falls on me A necessary weight to carry An overwhelming sense of burden I can take you there I am the one Damnation of my design Pour the sickness in me, ever dead will I be I'm growing weary, I'm falling behind You need to believe, I won't be second best And my door is always closed I slip below My intent to persuade you This lie serenades you And nothing else discards As it falls on me A necessary weight An overwhelming sense of burden I can take you there Calming my senses I'm reaching for more time Finding my center A lonely state mind My soul is dying as the flesh calls I'm swallowing the defeat I will be the one To carry you away This place has never been my home This place has never been my own Fading out I won't be the last one standing Fading out I won't be the last As it falls on me A necessary weight to carry An overwhelming sense of burden As it falls on me A necessary weight to carry An overwhelming sense of burden I can take you there
