I hold my head up high, though I'm drowning in my mess
And my eyes they want to cry, but my tears are just useless
Cos nothing that I do, or anything I have done
Will lift this weight up off me, it weighs more than a tonne
I walk with so much grace but I'm holding in my limp
And as their eyes surround me my heart begins to sink
Cos I'm carrying a burden, a patch of life gone wrong
And they won't give me a break, so I have to just move on
I have made a few mistakes, just a human underneath
A pedestal I was placed upon with goals I could not reach
And breath by breath I'm dying, but I refuse to let them win
Cos deep inside I know that I have committed no sin
Down the hill I walk and my legs fold under me,
The weight of the world is now being set free
