Coliseum The Burden
Ten years on. Every time the line rings I hear a death knell. A voice of darkness. Can't face the feeling. Their lives are ending. Double bolt the door. Wait out the night. Can't face the end alone. Can't hold the night at bay. Can't try to save myself. Can't bear the burden on my own. I fight the nightmares. Face down the fear or sleep through what's left of my life. Shadows fill the street. Sweat out the heat. Grasp the line. Wait out our time. Can't face the end alone. Can't hold the night at bay. Can't try to save myself. Can't bear the burden on my own. I can't bear this life unguided. I can't live to see you in the ground.
