about

“Burden of Breathing” is about experiencing anxiety and being overwhelmed by existence. Your spirit is being hauled around by a mortal sack of cells with pain receptors and you’re hyper-focusing on the negative, unpleasant experiences. It’s about yearning for an escape when the pressures of life are getting you down. The world seems insane and sometimes it’s best to take time and disconnect from the zeitgeist. Don't forget to breathe. Keep driving that cell sack and see where it takes you. - Mike Ximenez

lyrics

Fervent introspection compounding into me
The sickness of my tired spirit
An ailing mystery
Burdens festering in my system
Whatever I was is spent
Crawling in a stifled mangled vessel
Not what I was meant

To be a figment of nothing
Searching for a way out
Escaping in sleep
Forever in vain

Fear of the living
Leave me behind
Fear for the breathing
I’d rather not be

Introspection compacts
A million tons of pressure
Barely human
Collapsed and gone

Fear of the living
Leave me behind
Fear for the breathing
I’d rather not be
I’d rather be gone

Forgery pressed upon my splintered soul
Sick covenant so oppressive

Fear of the living
Leave me behind
Fear for the breathing
I’d rather not be
I’d rather be gone

So senselessly beaten
Constricted and forced to speak
Dimensions of agony
Spirit gagged by flesh
