Burdened by Hope Songtext

von 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.
