[Verse] I sat in the quiet Afraid to move Thought standing still would be easier to prove But the clock kept ticking And the walls closed in No peace in the silence No way to win Years slipped through my hands like sand I stared in the mirror Hesitant to act My reflection whispers back It knows my name Hollow echoes Just me to blame [Prechorus] The weight I carried wasn’t what I thought It wasn’t action but the dreams I fought [Chorus] Choose a burden Heavy or light The weight of nothing steals the night No comfort here No easy way Might as well carry what makes you stay [Verse 2] Dreams collected dust They stared at me Like ghosts of the person I was meant to be I traded the climb for a seat on the floor But the ground grew heavy I can't take more [Bridge] No comfort in the in-between No solace in the unseen A heavy heart A hollow chest No purpose No rest [Chorus] Choose a burden Heavy or light The weight of nothing steals the night No comfort here No easy way Might as well carry what makes you stay [Verse 3] I built walls to keep it out Fear of failure A voice so loud But bricks of doubt They trap you in No start No end No chance to win What’s heavier The stone or the void A stagnant heart or one destroyed I’d rather break I’d rather bleed Than drown in the sad sea of what I need [Prechorus] Choose your weight There’s no escape But choose the one that helps you shape [Chorus] The weight of nothing It drags you down Heavier than a king’s lost crown If I must carry Let it be A burden born with purpose Free
