[Verse 1] The screen glows blue Another one sinks in I feel it settle somewhere Between my shoulder blades and spine The body keeps the score, they say Mine's counting past a thousand now Each headline finds a home [Chorus] The world is too heavy Too heavy for these hands The world is too heavy I'm bending where I stand Another layer pressing Another weight to hold The world is too heavy It's living in my bones [Verse 2] I watch the footage loop again The footage always loops Something shifts beneath my ribs A small collapse, internal By evening I'm a different shape Compressed by what I've seen The news crawls while I calcify [Chorus] The world is too heavy Too heavy for these hands The world is too heavy I'm bending where I stand Another layer pressing Another weight to hold The world is too heavy It's living in my bones [Bridge] How do you carry it? Does it show on you? I'm trying to stand upright But gravity keeps doubling They say don't look if it hurts But I'm already made of it Sediment and sorrow now Stratified and stuck [Final Chorus] The world is too heavy Too heavy for these hands The world is too heavy I'm bending where I stand Another layer pressing Another weight to hold The world is too heavy (Too heavy) It's living in my bones (It's living in my bones) [Outro] Another one Another one Another one
