Burn the Other End

Empty, but I've already left
Nothing to return for and little to be kept
Willing, unavailable at best
Clouded with delusions and weary without rest

This will break
I just can't
So I will burn the other end

Onward, forced through what is next
And only for the benefit of somebody else
Stubborn, I refuse to ask for help
The only expense is just the debt to myself

This will break
I just can't
So I will burn the other end

Guilty, resenting what I've done
Traded everything I love for what I have become
It's wasted, no wonder I'm afraid
Always struggling to justify the sacrifice I've made

This will break
I just can't
So I will burn the other end
