Lyrics

TAKE THIS BURDEN

From the sky I see
The street where you live
A long road approaches
Complex directions you give
Regarding this will, regarding this flight
Relax on this plane tonight
Everybody’s burning their castles
Everybody’s tearing their houses down

It’s tart beneath my tongue
Daylight has just gone
New place beneath my feet
Around the corner down the street
Distant chime from the church of mine
How many cars do you think we’ll find on Mars
Everybody’s burning their castles
Everybody’s tearing their houses down

I see brothers and sisters
I see how happy they could be
Dreaming of mothers and fathers
I’ll be there if you need
I’ll take this burden, you’ll see


Dance on the treetop
I don’t fall down
We’ve all gone to bed
Except for the clowns
Kiss on the spine and kiss with control
Im so high above, but featured below
Everybody’s burning their castles
Everybody’s tearing their houses down

I see brothers and sisters
I see how happy they could be
Dreaming of mothers and fathers
I’ll be there if you need
I’ll take this burden, you’ll see
