The Burden of Our Failures

Consumed in a shadow, the one that I've created,
From the guilt and sorrow, I have unrivalled hatred.
An ugly life has formed, in the stagnant abyss.
And you realize time won't heal this.

Looking into the void but the reflection is black.
Where the past is a blade that stabs you in the back.
You're the fucking maggot, two heads fought for the prey.
I've spoiled those sacred grounds, deceit has come your way.

I see the fires burning red.
A stomach filled with empty dread.
Questions answered more are raised.
I've not come out of this unscathed.

Defeated by the failure, a mind that never stops.
Sick of wasting days staring at a broken clock.
Trying to shed old skin, convinced that's what I seek.
Life repeats itself and shows my grasp is weak.

Looking into the void, but the reflection is black.
Where the past is a blade, that stabs you in the back.
You're the fucking maggot, two heads, one prey.
Sacred ground is spoiled, deceit has come your way.

I see the fires burning red.
A stomach filled with empty dread.
Questions answered more are raised.
I've not come out of this unscathed.

Don't dwell on your own, or let your life turn cold.
It swallows you whole, the darkness claims your soul.

And life is cold.

This pressure can't be lifted, no room I'm left constricted.
A heavy burden, the weight of the world,
A wasted breath, my words unheard.

A heavy burden, the weight of the world,
My wasted breath, the words go unheard.

The burden of our failures.

A heavy burden, the weight of the world.
