Weight of the World

I don’t know
who you are or what you want from me
I vow I won’t escape my destiny
I’ll keep fighting ´till I see

Fear leads me
into a place where I cannot set free
Far away from who I used to be
Can you see me?

The closer I think I come
The further you go…

You keep telling me to stay strong
„Don’t run away and move on,
face all your fears and make no mistakes“
How do you do that?

I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
struggling hard to breathe
running too fast with tears in my eyes
while my soul bleeds…

Freedom is yet to come
trying to hold on
I truly believe
one day there’ll be peace…

Hard to see
I think I’m blinded by the broken me
„Try not to give up child,
never forget you past, nor the life you wish to lead –
who you want to be…“

I can’t seem
to feel anything but emptiness inside of me
I don’t wanna go mad… but I still can’t die yet
Can you save me? I need to stay alive…

Just why can you see me through?
Am I falling in love with you?

You keep telling me to stay strong
„Don’t run away and move on,
face all your fears and make no mistakes“
Then what is it that you do?

I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
falling to my feet
I wish I could freeze time and space
and spare my enemies

Hiding away from the darkest secrets
dangers I can’t see
Facing all these broken souls
trying to set their hearts free

Fear all these demons inside
steeling the crown
and trying to rise up
and claiming the throne…
So who will be left in the end?

I’m burning alive
My heart is aching, my soul cries
the whole world is dying
screaming out, shattering, falling down

Will I be strong enough to gather all the pieces?
Will you stay by my side? Lonely souls cannot fight…

I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
struggling hard to breathe
running too fast with tears in my eyes
while my soul bleeds

Hiding away from the darkest secrets
dangers I can’t see
Facing all these broken souls
trying to set their hearts free…

I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
falling at your feet
I wish I could freeze time and space
and spare my enemies

Hiding away from the darkest secrets
Promises I can’t keep
facing all these frightened souls
trying to lead them to peace 

Freedom is yet to come
trying to hold on
I truly believe
one day there’ll be peace…
