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
