Weight of the World

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 become the victim of my own defense 
And there's no one to blame but myself 

As the structure 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 all comes 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
