The Burden of Atlas Is Still Light

Teardrops carrying within them pieces of my soul Falling for the sake of your heart Fragile as glass I can't bear to see you break… Listen to the howls Crying to a pale moon Echoing in the emptiness Chanting for demise… A step towards the edge Winds crying, tearing at my eyes What lies beyond? Beneath? The cliffs crumble Winds still scream The skies still bleed And I stand fast Mist settles The silence remains chaotic Why do you hide from me? Turn away… Cast me aside into the dark… I still call for you Still fear for you I can't bear to see you lost… Though stumbling in the dark Though gasping for light Hope still rests within my heart In you… I take my seat upon the water's surface And brace myself for the burden… The weight of trying seems far lighter than that of waiting… Atlas knows nothing of burdens…
