This weight i carry
controls my everything
Suffering-I pray for release
You put this on me
And now my soul is full of
Nothing-but unwanted demons

This
cross to bear
is too much for one man alone
Pain
that i fear
is too much for one man alone

This is my duty
to bear your albatross
Opression-my favor to you
To keep our friendship
No matter what the cost
Uncertain-I'm feeling too vulnerable
This weight i carry
controls my everything
Suffering-I pray for release

This
cross to bear
is too much for one man alone
Pain
that i fear
is too much for one man alone

Sisyphus shrugged as he let go his boulder
this eternal burden he dared to resign
conscience now free with the weight off his shoulders
although he has placed it now squarely on mine
Atlas shrugged as he lowered the heavens
this eternal burden he dared to resign
conscience now free with the weight off his shoulders
although he has placed it now squarely on mine

jaded-dejected
You smile as i do everything that you've planned
I laugh as i eat from the palm of your hand
consumed-infected
You smile as your pieces all fall into place
I laugh when the whole thing blows up in your face

Hercules shrugged as he gave up his labors
this eternal burden he dared to resign
conscience now free with the weight off his shoulders
although he has placed it now squarely on mine
Jesus Christ shrugged as he lay down his cross
this eternal burden he dared to resign
conscience now free with the weight off his shoulders
although he has placed it now squarely on mine

jaded-dejected
You smile as i do everything that you've planned
I laugh as i eat from the palm of your hand
consumed-infected
You smile as your pieces all fall into place
I laugh when the whole thing blows up in your face

I'm not your scapegoat
My life is my own
