Lyrics
Burdened by the weight of a thousand worlds My legs begin to break They snap and bring me down to my knees When did I become this way? In agony I crawl onward Crushed to dust like the soul inside Struggling to raise this weight Panic grows inside my soul Sickened by sorrow left empty and cold Such panic growing inside my soul A headspace so heavy I'm losing control Powerless The pressure testing how much weight that I can hold Always on the edge of drowning Never taught myself to float Falling Flying is a fleeting feeling Like Icarus I've flown too close Sick to the soul This weight keeps haunting me I think I've lost control Daily the pressure grows and builds in me Put on a pedestal for everyone to judge and see This weight is breaking me down Into a fraction of a person that I dreamed to be This pressure's such a burden If you could only see the horrors dwelling in my mind This pressure's such a burden Heavy is the head of the ones who bear the crown Crushed to death by the weight of a thousand worlds Dragging my corpse By my fingers scrapped to the bone Pressure grows inside us all Sickened by sorrow left empty and cold Pressure growing inside my soul A headspace so heavy I've lost all control Powerless The pressure testing how much weight that we can hold Always on the edge of drowning Never taught ourselves to float Falling Flying is a fleeting feeling Frail are the fractures inside ourselves Weakened by the daily strains No one hears the cries for help Hollow shell Trembling Struggling to raise this weight Always forcing down on me A fraction of what used to be Crushed by the weight of eternity Screaming out Won't you please? Someone help me lift this weight All this pressure's killing me ♪ Burdened by the weight of a thousand worlds My legs begin to break They snap and bring me down to my knees When did I become this way? In agony I crawl onward Crushed to dust like the soul inside Struggling to raise this weight Struggling to raise this weight Struggling
