Little Burden

Treading lightly, heavy-hearted
The little burden is rooting for a storm
Though the seasons might be changing
I will always carry you

Lay and rest here a little while
I will be as weightless as a smile
The mind wanders places it need not roam
The ground tastes too much like settling

Hey there, little burden, where are you coming from?
Pressing on my shoulder so heavy and bittersweet
Hey there little burden, don't you try to poison me
You will find that there is no release as I'm turning my cheek

Mind your own business
Don't ever cross my mind
Just another rich man's burden
Mind the step, don't you cross the line

Hey there, little burden, where are you coming from?
Pressing on my shoulder so heavy and bittersweet
Complaining about the weather, there's always one cloud in the sky
We're reaching for the heavens, not yet prepared to die

Rich man's burden
Take your load on me
Little burden, won't you let me be?
With your embrace made of mercury
