Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The shadows stretch long in the heat of the day
They follow my footsteps, they won't go away
I try to run fast but the dirt is too deep
And I’m keeping the secrets I vowed not to keep
I’ve got a mountain of iron strapped to my back
Walking a line on a cold, frozen track.

[Pre-Chorus]
The river don't wash, it just turns into mud
The ink on the ledger is thicker than blood.

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m forever burdened by the ghost of the past
In a world made of shadows that’s built not to last.
Every mile is a memory, every scar is a chain
I’m a king of the losses and a servant to pain.
Yeah, the road goes forever, but the sky is a wall
And the higher I climb, the further I fall.

[Verse 2]
I remember a house where the garden was green
Before I became something better unseen
Now I’m just a whisper in the tall, yellow grass
Counting the hours as the slow seasons pass
The Bible is heavy and the whiskey is thin
But neither can cover the weight of my sin

[Bridge]
It never lets go.
It never stays still.
If the road doesn't break me...
The memory will.

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m forever burdened by the ghost of the past
In a world made of shadows that’s built not to last.
Every mile is a memory, every scar is a chain
I’m a king of the losses and a servant to pain.

[Outro]
Still burdened...
Still bound...
