thirteen times the strength

i am not the man i thought i was

i have tied a weight to my ankle bones

now i take my wrongs to davey jones

and you can find a man with a better soul

i don't ever want to see a face like that

so i've left my clothes on the river bank

i don't want to face you with a heavy head

i've taken my body to the river bed

sinking underwater

fighting like a feather

slipping underneath the world

this weight upon my shoulder

crushing all my hopes

it's thirteen times the strength

of anything i felt on earth

i am not the man i thought i was

always let you down when you need me most

i am an american loading my gun

pushing little children with plastic ones

i don't ever want to see a face like that

so i've left my clothes on the river bank

i don't want to face you with a heavy head

i've taken my body to the river bed

sinking underwater

fighting like a feather

slipping underneath the world

this weight upon my shoulder

crushing all my hopes

it's thirteen times the strength

of anything i felt on earth

sinking underwater

fighting like a feather

slipping underneath the world

this weight upon my shoulders

crushing all my hopes

it's thirteen times the strength

of anything i felt on earth

sinking underwater

fighting like a feather

slipping underneath the world
