Junction 18 - The Weight lyrics

We danced for the rain All covered

in silver laughter and gold The hurricane

swept in and trees were made into forts

around the yard I can't be withdrawn From

a little ember that burned in me once ago

I can't seem to find it in my jaded wounded

trapeze of living life

But the little you show me Has kept me wondering

If I was set on the right path Or did I make a big

mistake so long ago

[chorus]

Cuz all I can feel is..All I can feel is more weight than

ever before All I can feel is.. All I can feel is blistering

on my bed All I can feel is..All I can feel is more

weight than ever before All I can feel is..

For years, we were bathed Drowned in all this dirt

that ruins our lives And one day we step up and we

shake it off with a smile Please work this out Someone

please tell me who is responsible For letting us grow up

in this hive of bastards and lies and enemies

And the little you've showed me Has rendered me away

And the scars that you gave me Are still repeating, slamming

on my door

But what I can feel is this better day

Woke up to sounds of gulls on the bay

I've gotta make use of this beauty today

Cuz it could drag me down..The weight

could drag me down back to where I began

[chorus]

Can't you see this is where we all began?
