Weight Of the World [Shayfer James]

The last man standing in our sinister charade

Beneath the crumbling arches of our counterfeit arcade
He nobly knelt before us, he sang our saviour's chorus
We left him spinning bloody plates upon his broken blade
But that's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
One woman whistling a wounded lullaby
And preaching pain to every unsuspecting passer-by
We knew her well before this, she promised portraits of us
We cut her throat while she waiting for the paint to dry
That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
And in the distance we'll hear melancholy moans
The long forgotten have a habit for collecting loans
But that's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world, we do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
