The Burden - Slipknot

There’s God

Can I feed you again?

Will I have to stay dumb?

You can feel and it begins

But I know inside this heart attack

I can see through your eyes

I’m terrified of everything

But it’s no real surprise

Because the parasites are dancing closer

All this sacrilegion warns in posters

Can you handle it?

In the dark

Why I think I’m alone

I swept through my visions

I’m going too cold

Today is a tragedy

In the mouth of the mad

But that doesn’t matter now

I’ve come relaxed

I’m curled up in a ball, and shaking

I’m hiding from the hell I’m making

I can’t believe the chance I’m taking

Is there any other way?

Is there any other way?

The burden

The burden

You can’t save me

There is nothing more to give

I am changing

Almost like I never lived

Be me witness

Just don’t leave me in suspense

Keep this, prove it

Tell them all the consequences

The burden

Have you ever been burdened before?

The burden

Was there anything you wanted more?

You can’t save me

There is nothing more to give

I am changing

Almost like I never lived

Be my witness

Just don’t leave me in suspense

Keep this, prove it

Tell them all the consequences

Our same plea

By now you know that looks are deceiving

I’m covered in a rash and receding

Is there any other way?

Is there any other way?

For gods' sakes we’ve suffered — this pain is now our lives

For gods' sakes we’ve suffered enough

For gods' sakes we’ve suffered enough

For gods' sakes we’ve suffered enough

For gods' sakes we’ve suffered enough

Enough

Enough

Enough
