The Dreamer's Burden

from Inevitable Ascension Theories by Brian N.

/

lyrics

For as long as I remember
My vision’s grown dimmer
The eyes of a shattered self
Draw webs of contradiction

The burden of the dreamer
Is to perform the tragic roll
Create a soulless surface
A towering evolution

Obsessed with reason and facade
Taking refuge in solitude
A brush with violence, an instinct
A pain I must endure

Behind these eyes burns a glaring light
A defiant hateful gaze
A dreamer's plight, a martyr of delusion
Such affliction keeps healing out of reach

I’ll keep the words elementary
As The Art provokes Itself
Don’t ask me to explain
You couldn’t comprehend my verse

I watch you through a spiteful lens
And burn the world you hold so dear
You’re so consumed by needless pride
You don’t see the shame in all you lack

Obsessed with reason and facade
Taking refuge in solitude
Unfulfilled, it's an instinct
A pain I must endure

Behind these eyes burns a glaring light
A defiant hateful gaze
A dreamer's plight, a martyr of delusion
Such affliction keeps healing out of reach

Don’t be fooled by the face I wear
It’s never at all sincere
Though I stand before you
I’m a million miles away

Obsessed with reason and facade
Taking refuge in solitude
A brush with violence, an instinct
A pain I must endure

Behind these eyes burns a glaring light
A defiant hateful gaze
A dreamer's plight, the curse of a false salvation
Such affliction keeps healing out of reach
