The Weight - AngelMaker

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 pressures 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 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
