[00:01.63]THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
[00:09.82]her space holiday
[00:19.77]
[00:38.71]It could be your southern drawl
[00:40.59]or how you limp when you walk
[00:42.94]That makes
[00:44.72]me want to say
[00:48.09]all those things I never could
[00:50.37]A school boy crush carved into wood
[00:52.26]that fades
[00:54.30]in the rain
[00:57.38]You were born in a baptist house
[00:59.76]with a rusty spoon inside your mouth
[01:02.35]The taste
[01:04.18]didn't go away
[01:07.03]and when the sun comes peaking out
[01:09.47]You work until it goes back down
[01:11.89]the days
[01:13.49]are all the same
[01:16.75]With a baby boy strapped to your hip
[01:19.16]and a tiny cut above your lip
[01:21.56]That states
[01:23.21]god doesn't save
[01:26.56]everyone who buys his book
[01:28.67]some of us Get overlooked
[01:30.72]in a way
[01:32.99]it's a shame
[01:35.92]But you still walk in his light
[01:38.33]and say the same words every night
[01:40.48]I pray the lord my soul to keep
[01:42.67]but what about the rest of me
[01:45.26]My faith
[01:48.50]can't take the weight
[01:56.07]The summers came and left like fall
[01:57.82]ten thankless years of working hard
[02:00.45]The school bell rings the kids come home
[02:02.87]but you still feel like you're alone
[02:05.54]Because your husband holds his whiskey glass
[02:07.46]tighter than a hero's past
[02:10.12]You rip those black beads off your throat
[02:12.15]and swap them out for a knotted rope
[02:14.73]The end
[02:17.92]is your only friend
[02:24.55]You use that final rush of blood
[02:26.38]to say the things you never could
[02:29.00]I pray the lord that you will see
[02:31.87]in my eyes bulge out and my body swing
[02:34.36]Because I now I finally understand
[02:36.85]that jesus is like every man
[02:38.84]He tells you want you want to hear
[02:41.46]until you fall in love and he disappears
[02:43.93]My faith
[02:47.21]couldn't take the weight
[02:53.47]When the weight of the world
[02:54.81]falls square on your shoulders
[02:57.43]A pin prick or missed call
[03:00.92]can somehow destroy you
[03:03.82]We all are victims of warped expectations
[03:08.15]when people can't save us we suddenly hate them
[03:13.12]So much
[03:15.30]in fact
[03:17.42]that we lose our grasp
[03:20.03]on reality the responsibility
[03:24.60]that we have to ourselves
[03:29.32]And everybody else
[03:32.21]when the weight of the world falls square on your shoulders
[03:36.22]A pin prick or missed call can somehow destroy you
[03:41.43]We all are victims of warped expectations
[03:45.80]when people can't save us
[03:48.27]We suddenly hate them
