Opeth - Burden lyrics

If only words could be enough... Maybe under other circumstances they could be, but when it comes to you I lose them all...


"There's an ocean of sorrow in you... Sorrow in me..."

I've waited for my feelings to fade for so long but they hanged on to me more tightly than my own heart. Some may do me wrong but what I feel seems so right and I trust it entirely, even though that has only done me harm so far... I'm still waiting for the time to do its "magic" and make me forget, but it seems it has only forgotten me completely. What else am I suppose to do? If the answer is "Nothing", then that doesn't work either! I've tried everything, but my soul still aches at the thought of you. It has suppressed the longing for you so many times that I barely allow it to remember you. My thoughts, my subconscious and conscious aside, hell, even my soul, still hopes. So what am I supposed to do?
I can't keep searching for futile reasons.
"If I beg and pray you to set me free, then bind me more tightly still."
