Burden

Lyrics

Verse 1
I’m the one who keeps moving forward, 
Even when the night grows colder
Every breath I take is sharpened, 
Every step I take is bolder

I’ve carried wounds that never healed, 
Faced the dark with nothing shielded
Still I rise, my heart unyielding— 
Nezuko is why I’m breathing

Verse 2
But deep inside, the fear is twisting, 
Like a thread that keeps resisting
What if one wrong move I’m missing 
Costs the life I’ve sworn to guard? 

I wonder if the strongest fighters 
Ever felt their spirit tighter— 
Ever feared the world might strike her 
If they faltered for a moment

Pre‑Chorus 1
A single choice, a single slip, 
Could tear apart the path we grip
The burden builds with every trip, 
And still I hold it close

Chorus 1
It’s a burden that clings, clings, clings to my bones, 
A burden that rings, rings, rings when I’m alone
Give it to the brother who refuses to fall— 
Let him take the weight of protecting it all
Who am I if I fail her in the end? 
If I break again?

Verse 3
Underneath the calm I’m showing, 
Storms are rising, shadows growing
Every demon keeps me knowing 
How fragile hope can be

The world won’t bend because I’m frightened, 
Won’t slow down because I’m tired
Still I fight with spirit heightened— 
Still I stand between her and danger

Pre‑Chorus 2
Line up threats like falling stones, 
One by one they shake my bones
I try to stop the chain alone, 
But still it tumbles on

Chorus 2
It’s a burden that burns, burns, burns in my chest, 
A burden that turns, turns, turns into unrest
Give it to the brother who refuses to yield— 
Let him be the shield on the battlefield
Who am I if I can’t carry her through? 
If I come unglued?

Bridge
If I could drop the weight I’m holding, 
Would I feel my heart unfolding? 
Would there be room for peace or rest, 
A quiet breath, a moment blessed? 

But still this burden keeps on growing, 
Keeps on pulling, keeps on flowing— 
And I keep going, never slowing, 
Because she needs me strong

Chorus 3
It’s a burden that clings, clings, clings to my bones, 
A burden that rings, rings, rings when I’m alone
Give it to the brother who won’t step back— 
Watch him bend beneath the heavy stack
See him stumble, strain, but never break— 
No room for mistakes

Final Chorus
Just a burden that burns, burns, burns in my chest, 
A burden that turns, turns, turns into unrest
Give it to the brother who never wonders 
If the same burden would’ve pulled him under  Who am I if I don’t have what it takes? 
No cracks
No breaks
No mistakes—no burden
