Album: The Incubus (2016)

Bury My Burdens

I pray on my knees what are you trying to show me
God tell me please because it's driving me crazy
Am I sick?
(I'm sick!)
Fanatic or possessed by a demon inside me that is poisoning my soul deep from within

The fear the fear
That's imprisoned me here
Caused by these blackouts and nightmares that seem to have come from nowhere
I'm scared. Am I ill and impaired?
Or am I bound by a curse from an evil?
So I'll say a prayer

Please God please purge out this torment inside me

The night caught fire
The dark sunk in
I felt the venom deep within
Myself a toxic war.
We've all got something to live for
I must contain
My lunacy
Keep up the front that I'm okay
My burdens I must ignore
We've all got something to live for

I don't know why I faint
But these blackouts create these visions in my head of hate
Am I sick? Or is there more than it seems at first glance?
Is there a message hidden deep within these dreams?

Please God please
Purge out this torment inside me
Set me free
Or have you forsaken me?

The night caught fire
The dark sunk in
I felt the venom deep within
Myself a toxic war.
We've all got something to live for
I must contain
My lunacy
Keep up the front that I'm okay
My burdens I must ignore
We've all got something to live for

Locked away I'll hide out
Feels like I've come undone
Or I can leave now
But where can I go?
Where can I run?

We've all got something to live for
Gotta open my eyes to see through the storm.

And I try to maintain
The illusion of glee that makes me seem okay, day by day.
But it's starting to destroy me

I'll live a lie
Keep it inside
I'll live a lie
I'll live a lie

The night caught fire
The dark sunk in
I felt the venom deep within
Myself a toxic war.
We've all got something to live for
I must contain
My lunacy
Keep up the front that I'm okay
My burdens I must ignore
We've all got something to live for

I'll live a lie.
