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
