[Verse 1] Where does the weight go that we carry? (The weight) I feel it everywhere, so much it’s scary (The weight) The anvil of grief, disbelief, loss so hard to take (The weight) It’s not something I can push off, I feel it when I wake (The weight) [Verse 2] It travels down through my legs to my feet It’s there when I walk, run, when I speak Life doesn’t come with training wheels It doesn’t care where you are or how you feel [Chorus] It’s not a choice, it’s a rule you need to deal with (The weight) Nothing prepares you, nothing gets you ready for this (The weight) I need to face it head-on, there’s no other choice (The weight) These issues are in my face, they have a voice (The weight) [Verse 3] I’m done, I’m finished, I can’t take it anymore Just move on, roll off my back, just like before I can’t carry this weight anymore, it’s taken its toll Get off me, I can’t take you, I don’t want this anymore [Chorus] It’s not a choice, it’s a rule you need to deal with (The weight) Nothing prepares you, nothing gets you ready for this (The weight) I need to face it head-on, there’s no other choice (The weight) These issues are in my face, they have a voice (The weight) [Bridge] How much can I carry? How much can I take? How long can I hold it Before I finally break? (The weight) It’s crushing me (The weight) It’s burying me (The weight) I can’t breathe (The weight) Get it off of me [Final Chorus] It’s not a choice, it’s a rule you need to deal with (THE WEIGHT!) Nothing prepares you, nothing gets you ready for this (THE WEIGHT!) I need to face it head-on, there’s no other choice (THE WEIGHT!) These issues are in my face, they have a voice (THE WEIGHT!) [Outro] I can’t carry it… I can’t carry it anymore… (The weight) (The weight) (THE WEIGHT!)
