BURDEN ME, OKAY

I wallow with the burden
A choice I made one day
While the wicked party and play

Fine for me is this burden
The choice I chose to keep
And our fruits each we shall reap

Party and play with deaf ears
Gabriel will announce the sadness
While the wicked party and play

After the final act
They shall fall upon their swords
‘Cuz while the uncaring played, I bore the burden of a life decaying

Through sleepless nights
And fruitless days
I’m leader through the lighted path

I carried it all
So do not dare ask any questions of me
If there are some, look in the mirror for answers or, my God, hit your knees

I wallow with the burden
A choice I made one day
While the wicked party and play

Burden me, okay
