Weight

Weight - Hands Like Houses

I'm down below where

The floor is out of focus

Pent up and played down

Rained in and worn out

Picking away at the studs in the boards

They're all too familiar

I've been here before

The air is like lead and

I've swallowed what I've said

I'm a broken machine and

A match already burned

And I'm quiet all despite

The raging in my head

Collapsed inside

And out until my strength can return

I'm undone

All I know is the weight of the world

So empty and so uninspired

Sorrow and sleep and disbelief

Caught up in the weight of the world

I'm down below where it's silent and it's safe

Resounding with the question of

Where to from here

I know my direction

I know what it takes

But I'm weak and

I'm weightless with everything to fear

I write about what's real to me when all

I feel is make believe

But I won't say there's nothing left

There's everything but just out of reach

I'm undone

All I know is the weight of the world

So empty and so uninspired

Sorrow and sleep and disbelief

Caught up in the weight of the world

But I'm not helpless

I'm not hopeless

But I don't believe in hope on it's own

No spine and no substance

I'm undone

All I know is the weight of the world

So empty and so uninspired

Sorrow and sleep and disbelief

Caught up in the weight of the world

It's time to see the floor sink around me

Pushed down with my two bare hands and now

I'm stronger for whatever comes

Let the blood rush as I rise to my feet
