[Intro] Nothing leaves once it crosses So I take attendance of myself [Verse 1] No other body in the room to blame Just the mass I answer to by name I stand still and the floor still sinks Rest mass. Mine. It doesn’t blink I weigh the quiet like a stone in the lung Count the hours I have already become If I leave this chair the chair stays wrong I am the load. I have been all along [Chorus] I am the thing that won’t get lighter Not a storm, not a sentence, just a size I can starve the days and starve the night The number on the scale is still mine I put every sin in a quieter name They still add up when I close my eyes No other body in the room to take it I am the thing that won’t get lighter [Verse 2] Line them up. Don’t dress them. Measure. One for the word I never should have said One for the door I locked from the inside One for the friend I let go hungry One for the prayer I used as a knife One for the year I called survival One for the face I wore like a fine They don’t scream. They sit. They add. [Chorus] I am the thing that won’t get lighter Not a storm, not a sentence, just a size I can starve the days and starve the night The number on the scale is still mine I put every sin in a quieter name They still add up when I close my eyes No other body in the room to take it I am the thing that won’t get lighter [Rap] Check the list, check the list, it grew when I blinked Every quiet I kept is a brick in the brick Can’t outrun a body that is the whole track Can’t put it down, I pick it up, I want it back Rest mass, rest guilt, rest name, rest skin I talk faster so I don’t have to live in it If I say it all now maybe it splits It doesn’t split. It sits. It is. [Breakdown] Don’t look for a second weight There isn’t one This is all me [Chorus] I am the thing that won’t get lighter Not a storm, not a sentence, just a size I can starve the days and starve the night The number on the scale is still mine I put every sin in a quieter name They still add up when I close my eyes No other body in the room to take it I am the thing that won’t get lighter [Outro] I am the thing that won’t get lighter I am the thing that won’t get lighter I am the thing that won’t get lighter I am the thing that won’t get lighter
