I lost faith in those around me I lost faith in those up above I lost faith in my lovers I lost faith in myself
Everyone has a secret Everyone has a past My one lonely secret Is gonna be my last
I will carry it with me 'til I lie in my grave And my body won't rest 'til I bury my shame And my conscience consumes with the force of a gun And this burden is heavy, I've nowhere left to run
I've experienced fortune I've experienced fame Money makes strange bedfellows Friendship is the price I pay
I have drank all my sadness I have smoked all my pain And there's no-one left to help me And there's no-one left to blame
I will carry it with me 'til I lie in my grave And my body won't rest 'til I bury my shame And my conscience consumes with the force of a gun And this burden is heavy, I've nowhere left to run
Is it over now? Lord, tell me how Time to hide my tracks Time to cover my back Time to cover my back Time to cover my back Time to cover my back Time to cover my back
I will carry it with me 'til I lie in my grave And my body won't rest 'til I bury my shame And my conscience consumes with the force of a gun And this burden is heavy, I've nowhere left to run
