Burdened by Hope - Close Your Eyes

If I wasn’t born to lose

Then why do I keep crumbling?

I can feel the place that I call home

And every step I take

I’m pulled three back

I see the sea of faces

With their hearts on their sleeve

They stare and do nothing

For all my screams

You liar!

You fake!

You spit poison in my face

You liar!

You fake!

I’ll never heed the words you say

And even when I’m at the end of my rope

I’m broken and hungry and burdened by hope

I will push you away

You liar!

You fake!

These cries are growing louder

With each and every step

How long 'til I’m done taking

Whatever I can get?

And I regret the lies

I tell myself

These words are lacking substance

I need to break these wretched chains

You liar!

You fake!

You spit poison in my face

You liar!

You fake!

I’ll never heed the words you say

And even when I’m at the end of my rope

I’m broken and hungry and burdened by hope

I will push you away

You liar!

You fake!

I will not

Sacrifice the way I live

It’s all… for something more

Something more!

Something more!

I don’t believe you

I don’t believe a word that you say

Because I know there’s something more

I don’t believe you

I’ll never fall for the games that you play

Because I know there’s something more
