burden (face to face)

*A favorite song from a favorite album.  Ignorance is Bliss is the album that broke up the band.  It essentially tore the fan-base into two warring factions.  Shows turned into riots.  They couldn't play the songs live.  Call it a lesson in knowing your audience, or call it a lesson in love.  The album had to be made.*

You could say I might find it difficult
to show it on the outside
from far away
I should seem as ordinary as would seem the truth
but all we find
dishonesty and lies
it's hard to recognize the truth
and why can't I discover what the reason is
that I know there`s something left that I should prove

I didn't mean to burden you
is there something more to this?
I didn't mean to burden you
is there something more to this?
was it something that I've already missed?

peel away the fear that I`m not good enough
to give back what I've taken
it's hard to say
the disappointment tends to make
the optimism fade
I'm still behind and running out of time
it's nothing but a trite excuse

and why can't I discover what the reason is
that I know there's something left that I should prove.
