"So Heavy" lyrics

Am I a fool?
Has my hope been in vain?
I planted the seed of a shading tree
But I'm standing in the rain
Am I a fool?
How can it be?
I keep picking the scab of an old wound
Just to watch it bleed
And it's so heavy
Too heavy to hold

I watch my cup
Fill up with doubt
I keep drinking it up
You keep pouring it out
You push so hard
And I push back
Before I've even turned around
Your sights are set, aimed and ready to attack
And it's so heavy
Too heavy to hold
It's so heavy
Too heavy to hold

I can't catch up
There's not enough time
We are so disconnected, discontented
Disappointed 'cause we lack connection
With each other and with the earth
Ignorantly thinking this is how it works
Our lives have no meaning but to feed the machine
Repelling sadness and pain with the swipe of a screen
People closing their minds, sewing their third eye shut
Measure value in money and things they have not
And it's just so heavy
Too heavy to hold
It's just so heavy
Too heavy to hold

Am I a fool?
Has my hope been in vain?
