The Burden of Being

[Verse 1] It's the curse of confusion It's the drone of despair It's the dance of delusion That floats in the air It floats in the air It's the pain in perfection It's the grief in the grace It's the rift of rejection That flies in the face It flies in the face [Chorus] It breathes, it grows, it sings, it knows The cry in the heart of the broken man It hurts, it bleeds, it wants, it needs For somebody out there to understand [Verse 2] It's the fear in forgiving It's the con of conceit It's the rise in reliving This life of defeat This life of defeat It's the stain in the stigma It's the tear in the tone It's the end of enigma Whose truth is now known Whose truth is now known [Chorus] It breathes, it grows, it sings, it knows The cry in the heart of the broken man It hurts, it bleeds, it wants, it needs For somebody out there to understand [Bridge] The burden of being, too. much for the soul to bear The sickness of seeing what could have been Broken and beaten down, scattered pieces upon the ground Never more to be found, the story of me [Chorus] It breathes, it grows, it sings, it knows The cry in the heart of the broken man It hurts, it bleeds, it wants, it needs For somebody out there to understand It breathes, it grows, it sings, it knows The cry in the heart of the broken man It hurts, it bleeds, it wants, it needs For somebody out there to understand
