Overcame with the weight of a thousand earths
Forced to live the life of atlas's curse
I am the warrior with a broken sword
A slave at the feet of his lord
There's no chance I'll ever be relieved
Because as men before me I have been deceived
Into believing, I'll be rewarded for all of my strain
But as soon hope emerges the wind blows it away again
The mirage; blurring my sight and senses
The mirage; breaking my spine and spirit
Falling to my knees, I'm left to crawl
Choking, sinking, coughing up salt
The truth inside of me arrives like a squall
The realization it's all my fault
