Lyrics
and slowly the burden
becomes so heavy that you shrivel up inside
she said oh god I hope –
– without the hubris of your heart
if it is love that holds the reckoning of men
– blindfold – tie it on
he hung just below the rafters
overheard through whispered vines
I got to get off of this rock
and slowly the burden
becomes so heavy that you shrivel up inside
when I was young I – these – intuition
telling me to leave you far behind
and now this is the lightest cross I’ll ever bear
I pulled the arrow head through the other side
he hung just below the rafters
overheard through whispered vines
I never meant to beg your pardon
I got one last chance to get off of this rock
and slowly the burden
becomes so heavy that you shrivel up inside
