about

This song/project was named after a misheard Sparklehorse lyric that goes "burdened limbs of its weight to break and rot a whispered fate" and at the time I was naming the track, I felt as though it was representative of our limitations within the physical form, it was indicative of the influences in our lives that hold us back, the failings of my own inherent form and the idea of carrying the burdens of memory and toxic relationships in our lives. At its core , this song embodies the existential dread and societal disillusion that has gone on to permeate through every Burden Limbs song, in some manner or another.

lyrics

Something hit too close to home and that's the last place I want to be
The source of all my goodness, the source of all my misery

I lost my faith in humanity, I found out man is just another beast
With someone I love the most and someone I respect the least
Thinly veiled like a bride, poison bleeds on the walls outside
I'm so tired of suffering these reminders of a world I can't abide
Why else would I carve out my hatred and dissatisfaction?
Why else would I preserve aching bones in traction?

I need to walk away

Find myself an escape

Gain some peace of mind
Heard some wounds heal with time

Something hit too close to home and that's the last place I want to be
The source of all my goodness, the source of all my misery

I lost my faith in humanity, I found out man is just another beast
With someone I love the most and someone I respect the least
Thinly veiled like a bride, poison bleeds on the walls outside
I'm so tired of suffering these reminders of a world I can't abide
Why else would I carve out my hatred and dissatisfaction?
Why else would I preserve aching bones in traction?
