Bear the Weight

No grace or credence given within my life Lashing out at myself with a poisoned knife I bear the weight of all your panicked cries And pooling all the tears inside To see a reflection I'm a brimming lake Spilling shame I can't seem to hide Soak in its wretched tide Blood on my hands, god damn rooms spinning again The consequence, was it worth it? Soaked in sweat I have one fear That I'll go and leave it all behind Regret has its way Forming endless years of pain Brеd to suffer All things fell in place But thе essence of disgrace That I refuse to see I bear the weight of all your panicked cries And pooling all the tears inside To see a reflection The aftermath deep panic sets in Is this gonna be the one that's puts me down? Scream, scratch, and cry, just leave me here to die On your way out don't forget to say your goodbyes Years tend not to slow Bear the weight of my guilt Suns rising, amplifying, years tend not to show Wearing in, wearing off, bear the weight of my guilt Regret has its way Forming endless years of pain Bred to suffer Looking back the hardest fact is this was all me Right before my eyes and I didn't have the courage to see
