Audioslave Lay Your Burden Down Lyrics

Lay Your Burden Down Lyrics

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
