"Heavyweight" lyrics

"Heavyweight"

I'm looking for a sign that I can't see
The good the bad is somewhere in between
These warning signs, and the servant grinds, me down
The kids are building fires by their homes
The smoke is sending signals out in code
These safety suits, these parachutes
I don't know

Gotta stop, drop, roll

When all these walls come down
They'll shake us
We fight not to be, not to be weightless
Oh when all these stars hit ground
They'll wake us
We fight not to be, not to be weightless

I'm choking on the words that I can't say
My lungs are full but everything's misplaced
And these junkyard dogs, these cherry bombs, go off
The sun, the sky, the moon will fall apart
Come tumbling down just like a house of cards
These fire escapes, and this lush landscape, it fades

When all these walls come down
They'll shake us
We fight not to be, not to be weightless
Oh when all these stars hit ground
They'll wake us
We fight not to be, not to be weightless
Weightless

I can feel this heavyweight hanging around my neck
I can feel your heartbeat bringing me back
Back again

When all these walls come down
They'll shake us
We fight not to be, not to be weightless
Oh when all these stars hit ground
They'll wake us
We fight not to be, not to be weightless
Weightless
Weightless
