Lay Your Burden Down lyrics

Artist  : Audioslave 
Song : Lay Your Burden Down
 


Once upon a time
I was on a mind to lay your
burden down
and leave you where you
stood
you believed i could
you'd seen it
done before
i could read your thoughts
and
tell you what you saw
and never say a
word
but now that is gone
all worth and
done
and never to return

i can tell you
why
people die alone
i can tell you
why
the shadow on the sun

staring at
the loss
looking for the cause
and never
really sure
nothing but a hole
to live
without a soul
and nothing to be
learned

i can tell you why
people go
insane
i can show you how
you could do the
same
i can tell you why
the end will never
come
i can tell you why
the shadow on the
sun

shapes of every size
move behind my
eyes
doors inside my head
bolted from
within
every drop of flame
lights a candle
in
memory of the one
who lived inside my
skin

i can tell you why
people go
insane
i can show you how
you could do the
same
i can tell you why
the end will never
come
i can tell you why
the shoadow of the
sun

shadow of the sun
shadow of the
sun
shadow of the sun
shadow of the
sun
shadow of the sun
shadow of the
sun
shadow of the sun
sun
sun
