The burden of pain is one that we all know
So please won't you say it again that we are not alone?
This cold world has no mercy for the weak
So don't you dare hold your tongue when you speak
♪
How many times must I scream these words aloud
And tell myself that everything will be okay?
I have dedicated my whole life to my craft
Poured my heart and soul into my only skillset
I have amassed countless accomplishments
And the recognition of my contemporaries
So why the fuck do I still feel so goddamn miserable?
Through strength unknown I push myself
So that I may know what it is like to feel at peace
But the burden of who I am inside
Never ceases to overshadow my efforts
It is contorting me, my faith is no longer
These are the bones that grew from pain
♪
Hush child, don't let the fear take hold
Know that you can speak to me
I will welcome you with open arms
Oh, how I only hope that one day you can understand
There is truth in pain and reason lies in redemption
This is an unforgiving world that offers no solace
In the face of grief, you only need to know one thing
Emotion is a vice, and you have got the means to choose
Between surrendering to the darkness that resides inside
And holding your head high and never looking back on this
You don't have to be afraid of what lies ahead
If there is only one truth in this life
It is that we hold the answers within us
So will you take it upon yourself to keep moving forward
Or will you cower in defeat, waiting for death?
Hush child, don't let the fear take hold
Know that you can speak to me
And I will welcome you with open arms
Don't let this ever get the best of you
You and I both know that you can overcome this
I only wish that I could say the same for myself
