Heavy Burden

by ·

10/27/2018
My burden is heavy
My burden is dark
My sins are many
I’m in need of a spark

To lighten my burden
Brighten my day
A shot of whiskey
Keeps the doctor away

I’ll drown my sorrow
In my chosen vice
I’ll breathe tomorrow
If there’s still any life

My burden is heavy
My burden is dark
My sins are many
I’m in need of a spark
