Lyrics
The Burden- by Shannon Clark & Navie Clark
Vs-1
This aint no schoolhouse, no Reverend Stays.
Monsters live and they take away
A place where your problems you seem to trade,
An easy life for a guilty grave.
Pre- Chorus-
Sinking battle ships & hide & seek
The little things they’d never see.
Chorus-
The Wait is the hardest thing,
Will she see the magnolias spring?
Oh, The Weight.
Vs-2
Where’s your Mother, your Father dear?
No one here to bend your ear.
Where’s the talker the one who claimed,
He’d be with you all his days.
Pre- Chorus-
Sinking battle ships & hide & seek
The little things they’d never see.
Chorus-
Bridge-
I killed her a thousand times,
but every way I played it in my mind,
My heart just couldn’t take that sort of crime.
Vs 3
“Hey there Mama will you braid my hair?”
Toothless smile with dramatic flair.
Born on a Tuesday brown hair and brown eyes.
8 Lbs. of something that was surely mine.
Pre chorus-
Smells like springtime and candy rain
The perfect burden, I’d never trade
Chorus-
