looming large like a favorite son
one more time comes my obsession
like a mountain stream that ends in mud
i'm wading in shit waiting for the flood
i'm drinking strength for comic relief
while i'm growing super weak in the knees
you asked me can i deliver
like a monster crossing the hudson river
feet of clay that are stuck to the floor
and with vanity you want more
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
i'm biting my tongue so much it hurts
but at the same time i'm at a loss for words
the things i've seen should've left me blind
so it makes me happy that i'm losing my mind
feet of clay that are stuck to the floor
and with vanity you want more
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
you asked me can i deliver
like a monster crossing the hudson river
carrying the weight of the world
carrying the weight of the world
the things i've seen should've left me blind
so it makes me happy that i'm losing my mind
