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
