Burden of Proof

Poisoned the well of memory To recall it now is bittersweet And all of our victories are buried beneath The landslide of defeat So, how did we get here? And how do we get out? Even the darkest thoughts find a home How did we get here? And how do we get out? Even the brightest stars shine alone Looking back bears the burden of proof The view ahead kills all hope The present is a hangman’s noose And every day braids the rope So, how did we get here? And how do we get out? Even the darkest thoughts find a home How did we get here? And how do we get out? Even the brightest stars shine alone How did we get here? And how do we get out? Even the darkest thoughts find a home How did we get here? And how do we get out? Even the brightest stars shine alone Even the brightest stars shine alone
