about

I thought I was writing a Mumford & Sons type of song when this started. By the end there were Iron Maiden-esque strings and a Corey Taylor influenced yelling section. Oops. On an album that's basically about darting between the dark and the light, a bipolar opener makes sense.

lyrics

One of these days
I’m going to have to face
that I just might have some problems.
One of these days
I’m going to have to face
that I don’t know how to solve them.

I’ll work it out.
Find my own way out.
Don’t shut me out.

Lay my burden down
where I can pick it up.
Hold on to the hurt.
Holding out for love.
But I can’t let it go.
I must let it go.
This is who I am
and I feel so alone.
If I could find some hope
then I’d hang on to anything.

One of these days
I’m going to have to face
The source of all my problems.
And on that day
I’d like to have a faith
that could move a mountain.

Lift me up.
Oh, hold me up.
Just pick me up.

Break my anger down.
I want to give it up.
To let go of the hurt
and reach out for love.
It’s hard to let it go.
I have to let it go.
This is who I am.
I’m tired of being alone.
I’ll hold on to the hope
that life can still mean anything…

In the presence of my enemies.
In the presence of my friends.
In the presence of a stranger.
In the presence of a savior.
Lay my burden down.

Lay my burden down.
