This burden is so heavy.
It weighs me down each day,
Till I can no longer rise.
Its a huge weight on my chest;
One I feel I can no longer carry.
I feel as if I can not breath,
The shame I feel of it all.
Though not mine,
I bear the secret all the same.
Ti's shameful I know
But to whom, do I speak?
Who'll carry with me the burden of knowing?
I feel afraid and discouraged and alone.
God what am I to do?
Who am I to turn to?
Who will help me through?
Who Lord?...
Besides you.

picks up the skins
and leeches,
the busted wealthy.
I plug my ear holes in
to drown the atavistic
