Burden

My smile never reaches my eyes

I know exactly how to tell the lies

Always felt alone in a crowded room

Nothing is ever the way you assume

With closed eyes I see a float of tears

I've lost myself through the years

My heart is hurting and hardly working

Slowly crushed by the heavy burden

To get a grip and face my thoughts

I began to see the world in words

Created a space that I could escape to

Hiding in lyrics hoping it gets me through
