Burden of Memories The ashes of the memories I burnt Still lies on my shoulders Forming a shell, a shield for my soul But a weight on my mind Ripping grief, twisting, squeezing my heart Crushing hope into thousands pieces of pain They like to shoot me from their towers high above Bring me back to life, and continue to play They like to own my eyes like precious jewels Tear them apart, and throw them away They like to see me nailed to the ground To laugh at the paralisis, as I continue to pray My tears have known my cheeks too well now The boulder's attached within me Drive my body deep into the ground My burden of memories The scars given by sharp events Still bleed transparent The bitter sound of empty words Still remains to my ears Always screaming me the same serenade Praying me to play the same old game This will only add pressure to my frame Until my bones collapse Until I fail
