Once again I end up biting the bullet
Don't act surprised, by now it's second nature
It happens over and over again
I only bend so far before I break
And in return, nothing leaves me satisfied
But it's only a matter of time

Won't be long, I smell the fuse burn shorter
And I'm not about to snuff it out
I'll take this head on till the end
Hear my voice, no cries for deliverance
I've [bad word] the victim of my own defense
And there's no one to blame but myself

As the [bad word] fails
I'll pray for the fall out
For I am what I create
As the embers rise
I'll be at the bottom
When it [bad word] down
I'll carry the weight of the world

Strapped to my back
I'll carry the weight of the world
Chained to my neck
I'll carry the weight of the world
