Cold is the night without you here 
just your absence ringing in my ears.
Hard is the heart that feels no fear 
cause without the bad, the good disappears.

Long is the road that leads me home 
and longer still when I walk alone.
Bitter is the thought of all that time 
spent searching for something I'll never find.

Take this burden away from me,
and bury it before it buries me.

Many are the days I've wanted to cease 
lay myself down and find some relief.
Heavy is the head that gets no sleep 
we carry our lives around in our memories.

Take away this apathy,
and bury it before it buries me.

Steady is the hand [bad word] to terms 
with the lessons it has had to learn.
I've seen the things that I must do 
but Lord, this road is meant for two,
so I am waiting here for you.

Take my hand and set me free 
Take my burdens and bury them deep 
Take my burden away from me 
and bury it before, bury it before 
bury it before it buries me.
