The Weight Of The World Lyrics - Her Space Holiday

It could be your southern drawl 

Or how you limp when you walk 

That makes me wanna say 

All those things I never could 

Schoolboy crush carved into wood 

That fades in the rain 

You were born in a baptist house 

With a rusty spoon inside your mouth 

The taste to go away 

And when the sun comes peeking out 

You work until it goes back down 

The days are all the same 

A baby boy strapped to your hip 

And a tiny cut above your lip 

That states, god doesn't save 

Everyone who buys his book 

Some of us get overlooked 

In a way it's a shame 

But you still walk in his light 

And say the same words every night: 

I pray the lord my soul to keep 

What about the rest of me? 

My faith can't take the weight 

Summers came and left for fall 

Ten thankless years of working hard 

The school bell rings the kids come home 

but you still feel like you're alone 

'cause your husband holds his whiskey glass 

tighter than our hero's past 

Rip those black beads off your throat 

And swap them out for a knotted rope 

The end is your only friend 

Ears are full of rushing blood 

You say the things you never could 

Pray the lord that you will see 

That my eyes bulge out and my body swing 

'Cause now I finally understand 

Jesus is like every man 

He tells you what you want to hear 

Until you fall in love 

then he disappears 

My faith couldn't take the Weight 

When the weight of the world 

Falls square on your shoulders 

A pin prick or miscall can somehow destroy you 

We all are victims with warped expectations 

When people can't save us we suddenly hate them 

So much, in fact, that we lose our grasp 

on reality and responsibility 

that we have to ourselves and everybody else 

When the weight of the world 

falls square on your shoulders 

a pin prick or miscall can somehow destroy you 

We all are victims with warped expectations 

When people can't save us we suddenly hate them
