Dead Weight Lyrics by Daybreakers

Empty

0

Tell me would you trade everything you own?
Tell me would you leave everyone you love?
Something for nothing
Tell me could you fade from your family?
Tell me could you feed on their misery?
Something for nothing

And the day that you walk away
Will be the best day of their lives
A living sacrifice hoping for salvation
Free from the fear of your condemnation
No truth from the mouth of snakes
No hope in the heart that's plagued
Everyday you wake you perpetuate
Hatred breaking bonds that once were sacred

No truth from the mouth of snakes
No hope in the heart that's plagued
Everyday you wake you perpetuate
Hatred breaking bonds that once were sacred

Burden, our burden
Our burden lies in the hearts of weaker men
Committing acts of violence
Silencing the defenceless innocent

I know the reason
Why she hides her hair over her black eye
I know the reason
Why your kids pretend to be asleep when you're home at night
I know the reason
Why your family have to lie and hide
I know the reason
And you're the reason why

And I know you needed a reason
Defeated. You're weak and conceited
Soon your lies will be in the open
And I know the cycle
Pain is your only idol. And death your own disciple
Soon you'll be sleeping under the earth

As you writhe among all the dirt and worms you've earned
Just walk away and don't come back
You aren't needed and you never were
While you are weak
They are strong
And together they will overcome
