Weight of the World

This world just weighs on me

All of these things I do
Hurt the people I love the most
More than poetic words
This is the truth that my instincts say not to share with you

Caught in this double life
It's good versus evil and wrong versus right
They're all raging inside of me
And I can't tell which one I want to be

I wish you could feel the way I feel
It hurts enough for me to know it's real

I stay strong
But this world just weighs on me
Dollar signs, tear-filled eyes, and no sleep

Yeah, the weight of the world
The weight of the world's pushing down
Tearing me apart
Ripping through the mind and heart

Sometimes I wish I could be
Like every fucking boring loser around me
Instead I picked the hard way
And now I'm struggling to keep
This life from crushing, crushing me

I've spread myself too thin
And it's too late to run
Wish I could disappear
Wish I could fade into dust

You try to act like you know me
But you'll never know what I think
'Cause if you did then you'd understand
I love you more with every breath that I take

I stay strong
But this world just weighs on me
Dollar signs, tear-filled eyes, and no sleep

Yeah, the weight of the world
The weight of the world's pushing down
Tearing me apart
Ripping through the mind and heart
