"Weight On Me" lyrics

"Weight On Me"

Wake up in the morning, breathe in deep
Try to keep it on because they don't sleep
Put their weight on me
Sip a cup of coffee from my own machine
Wish I had some money but if you need
Put your weight on me

I've been tryin' to shake everything
That I don't really need
An illusion I won't learn to live for long
But if everyone I used to love
Could hear me when I speak
I would sing to them a lonely little song

Now you wait on me
With your weight on me
Pressure me so I can barely breathe
With your weight on me

Sit up in the evening, I can't sleep
Go to meditation, slowly breathe
Lift the weight on me
Floating out of body, I can finally see
I'm the only one putting
All of these pieces of weight on me

I've been trying to blame everyone
For my insecurities
An illusion I won't learn to live for long
But if everyone I say I love
Could hear me when I sing
I will sing to them a lonely little song

Now you wait on me
With your weight on me
Pressure me so I can barely breathe
With your weight on me

With your weight on me
With your weight on me
Pressure me so I can barely breathe
With your weight on me

Now you wait on me
With your weight on me
Pressure me so I can barely breathe
With your weight on me
