lyrics

Questioning everything that's been coming my way
I start to wonder how we're going under these days
Try to be good like I know I should
But it weighs me down
Why does it weigh me down?

And I can't stand the pain that comes when I know I can't be around
And I can't stand the pain that comes when I know I can't be around

Obligations cause frustrations begin retaliations, just give me time
There are ways that I can show up, just say the word and I'll jump
Flowing through the motions I've been sinking in the oceans of my waves
But I can't, no, no not today, I can't just let me say

It's all so heavy when it all comes down
See I'm struggling to stand, and I don't want to let you down
It's all so heavy when it all comes down
See I'm struggling to stand, and I don't want to let you down

I'm just a human in a chaotic cage
Trying to sort through pages of my unwanted rage
I'm just a person in a whirlwind of an age
Trying to keep up with a pace that's inhumane
I'm just a human in a chaotic cage
Trying to sort through pages of my unwanted rage
I'm just a person in a whirlwind of an age
Trying to keep up with a pace that's inhumane

Said you'd show up
I'm exhausted I've lost it what is the cost of it all
Said you'd help
I'd be putting myself out, how do I reconcile?
What will the people say?
It doesn't really matter anyway
Is this how you spend your time?
Looking at this puzzle, figure out what's mine

It's all so heavy when it all comes down
See I'm struggling to stand, and I don't want to let you down
It's all so heavy when it all comes down
See I'm struggling to stand, and I don't want to let you down
