Carry That Weight

Don’t let it swallow you whole
my mother once told me so
son this world can be so cold
crushing your heart
smashing your bones
But keep your head up
keep moving on
dig your heels into the ground
lift with your legs and
straighten your back
I promise you’ll find out how
You’re gonna carry that weight
that puts pressure on you day to day
trials and adversities
are the only thing that you’re guaranteed
just keep fighting till you break ground
whatever happens, happens here and now
You’re
You’re gonna carry all that weight
Yeah you’re gonna carry that weight
If iron sharpens iron
place the metal on the stove
I’m where the rubber meets the road
and I’m never coming home
though I may wander
as some lost soul
I promise you
I promise you
my spirit will not fold
You’re gonna carry that weight
that puts pressure on you everyday
just remember what you do
and who you do it for
put up with this pain just a little more
should your back be to the wall
and your face on the floor
remember these words son:
You’re
You’re gonna carry
ALL THAT WEIGHT
yeah you’re gonna carry that weight.

Wasting Time

We’re just wasting time
my face on cold concrete
as I wake up in the street
no sense in wait and dying
while i stick to my own sheets
rather have cold concrete
tell your mother • that I’m sick
I left my key • up on the porch
sorry I’m such • a fucking dick
I don’t deserve this • anymore
tell your mother • that I’m sick
I left my key • up on the porch
sorry I’m such • a fucking dick
I don’t deserve you • anymore
I’m yelling and I don’t know why
feeling beat but too numb to cry
I wish I could just feel alive
just a shell of myself with a boring life
ground shook when my head hit the floor
saw white and so much more
I’m yellin’ and I don’t know why
feeling beat and I’m wasting time
Woke up feeling like a haunted house
a house that’s my coffin
and I’ll never get out
this whole town’s a mausoleum,
weight on my lungs as I cough em all out.

Never Stops Raining

It never stops raining
keep my head in the sky
life is so draining
with my mouth open wide
I can’t believe this happened to me
I am my dog
laying under a tree, waiting to die
just looking for a nice pine box
that I can call mine
Choke me out with the Bible Belt
weight of the world, yea we all melt
Pissing away in Tornado Alley
torrential downpour, I’m fucking drowning
Never stops
Never stops
Never stops raining
Never stops
Never stops
Never stops raining

Concussions

Ate the punches
puked them up with blood
swallowed pride
with a hand full of shitty drugs
all the vices
turned to addiction
took all the punches
now i have a concussion
I am dirt
I am nothing
I am filth
I am disgusting
