The weight of the world rests on your shoulders
While your feet sink through the ground
It’s hard to see you losing the battle
Trying to reach the end never found
Don’t know what's going on inside yourself you look for answers everywhere but you’ve had enough
You beg and plead to find some levity or reason to believe that change is gonna come
The weight of the world is surrounding your life like a fire
Trying to burn through the feelings of fight or desire
Don't turn your back on the beast that waits at the door
Don't let him in he’ll just come back hungry for more
You don’t have to carry it all on your own
The weight of the world
The simplest things that we take for granted
They slow you down, you don’t understand
You keep on asking why did this happen to me
But nobody sees
Anxiety has taken everything and it’s so hard to breathe it’s holding you down
There doesn’t seem to be a light that you can find to help you clear your mind
And finally break out
Break out
The weight of the world is surrounding your life like a fire
Trying to burn through the feelings of fight or desire
Don't turn your back on the beast that waits at the door
Don't let him in he’ll just come back hungry for more
You don’t have to carry it all on your own
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
