Weight Of The World

Take these vagrant eyes
Lock them up for treason
Open as the sky
Rusty as the season

Break my heart and buy a load
Of this fear they’re selling

No one told you to shoulder the weight of the world but you

From this empty stage
All the seats are open
To the falling rain
When this age turns golden

Wake me up, I’ll fall asleep
Curled up with my shadow

No one told you to shoulder the weight of the world but you

Autumn spills its leaves into the river
frozen webs all shimmer in the dew
And I hope you know I’m here with you
It’s true

I was told we’re born
As ten thousand people
And all our restless forms
Scatter off like ravens

When we fail to heed their calls
When we fail to see them

No one told you to shoulder the weight of the world but you
