Burden of Choice

Lyrics

Lost with a road map in your hand
Soaring through the stratosphere
Amid the starry bands

No patience
Yearning for your paradise
Round and round you’re running
Never thinking twice

Lost your cadence
Lost your rhyme
Lost your heartbeat
It was with you all the time
Lost your sanity
You lost your dreams
Lost your place in the world
But still don’t know what it means

I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your voice
You are encumbered
By the burden of choice

Drowning
Lifejacket in your hand
Swirling through the whirlpools
into never never land

How could this
Take someone like you
As if your dreams and nightmares
Have the power over you

Lost your brilliance
You lost your fire
Pleasing everyone
Dangling off a tightrope wire
Lost your humor
Haunted by a foggy ghost
Lost the confidence
In the one you love the most

I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your voice
You are consumed
By the burden of choice

Life
It comes down to win or lose
Once the lots been cast
We’ve not the power to choose

When our feet are held up to the fire
Smile all the while
The flames lick us with desire

Play the cards we’re dealt
Shutting out the noise
Making peace within ourselves
Live the power of our choice

Find your cadence
Find your rhyme
Find your heartbeat
It’s been with you all the time

I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your voice
You are encumbered
By the burden of choice
I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your voice
You are consumed
By the burden of choice
