Carry the Weight

(Verse 1) I'm poison in the well... I'm the frantic hand I'm the "high-wire act"... that never... planned to land. I told myself... the grind... was just for me That "chaos"... was the only... way to be free. I was the one man... buildin' my own wall Just... waitin' for the... whole damn thing to fall. ('Cause it always falls...) (Pre-Chorus) And the bricks get heavy... the air gets thin This stubborn... pride... is wearin' thin I hear a voice... cuttin' through the noise It ain't my echo... it's a choice... I'm fallin' fast, I'm screamin' now! I was the one man... buildin' my own wall Just... waitin' for the... whole damn thing to fall. ('Cause it always falls...) (Verse 2) It ain't a fast fix... this... trustin'... thing It's a slow... difficult... song... to sing. (It's the non-linear... slow... redemption...) My first... instinct... is just to run Back to the shadows... away from the sun. But your groove... is steady... and it's holdin'... mine. (Pre-Chorus) 'Cause the bricks get heavy... but the air is clear This stubborn... pride... is turnin' into prayer I hear your voice... it's in the noise It ain't my echo... it's the choice! I was the one man... buildin' my own wall Just... waitin' for the... whole damn thing to fall. ('Cause it always falls...) (Bridge) I thought the "scar"... was just my cross to bear I thought my breakdown... was my own... private... air I thought... that no one... else... would care... ...But my heavy... is our heavy... to share.
