Once again I end up biting the bullet Don't act surprised, by now it's second nature It happens over and over again I only bend so far before I break And in return, nothing leaves me satisfied But it's only a matter of time
Won't be long, I smell the fuse burn shorter And I'm not about to snuff it out I'll take this head on till the end Hear my voice, no cries for deliverance I've become the victim of my own defense And there's no one to blame but myself
As the structure fails I'll pray for the fall out For I am what I create As the embers rise I'll be at the bottom When it all comes down I'll carry the weight of the world
Strapped to my back I'll carry the weight of the world Chained to my neck I'll carry the weight of the world
