[Intro - Spoken] (sigh)... it's me. Your Burden. Put the phone down. [Verse 1] You post every day, but the views don't come Twelve views, two likes, and you're feeling numb The algorithm buried you six feet deep You go live at midnight, talk yourself to sleep Film forty takes, post the forty-first Every comment's a bot, man, that's the worst Ring light on, but your future's dim The For You page is never letting you in [Hook] My Burden told me late last night (night) "Boy, the music ain't your light" (light) "You can chase it, but it'll never stay" "Some aren't meant to find the way" (way) My Burden says I'm not the one (one) The song was over 'fore it begun (begun) "You can want it, but want ain't enough" "The gift don't come to all of us" (us) [Verse 2] You edit till 3am with your eyes bloodshot Post it in the morning, get a like from a bot "Just stay consistent," yeah, that's what they preach Two years deep and you're still out of reach Your drafts got a hundred that'll never see light Dreams of going viral every single night You refresh the numbers like they're gonna change Same twelve views, man, ain't that strange? [Hook] My Burden told me late last night (night) "Boy, the music ain't your light" (light) "You can chase it, but it'll never stay" "Some aren't meant to find the way" (way) My Burden says I'm not the one (one) The song was over 'fore it begun (begun) "You can want it, but want ain't enough" "The gift don't come to all of us" (us) [Bridge - Brian talks back] Hold up, Burden, let me get a word You talk in riddles, but your meaning's heard I might not be the one, not today, not yet But watch me become what you can't forget [The Burden answers - Spoken] "What if the Burden... is you?" [Final Hook] My Burden told me late last night (night) "Boy, the music ain't your light" (light) "You can chase it, but it'll never stay" "Some aren't meant to find the way" (way) My Burden says I'm not the one (one) The song was over 'fore it begun (begun) "You can want it, but want ain't enough" "The gift don't come to all of us" (us) [Whisper Outro] (bordomsburden...) (bordomsburden...) (yeah... bordomsburden...)
