Weight

stand up and let me see you
 hands raised steady adagio
 eyes closed inanimate
 I shoot this film
 a string of past convictions
 held in complete silence
 I gave you up so we could be alone
 for someone would always come to take you away
 no matter how set upon the path we thought we were
 I am hanging falling breaking
 between one word
 one word and the next
 one word and the next
 we hope to see the future
 we aim to catch it off guard
 we search for proof as if proof could be found
 within a skeletal code
 within skin cells once shed
 within the blood we were bound to deny
 someone will always come to take you away
 no matter how set upon the path you thought you were
 I am hanging falling breaking
 between one word
 one word and the next
 one word and the next
