lyrics

all desire condensed into a single thought
heavy hearts form the basis of a simple plot
tread lightly in a sea of wants and waking dreams
current always changing what it is to what it seems

nothing matters but in brief flashes i see
these thoughts projected in the world around me
the trees breathe they ask me if i understand
beneath it all i wonder if i really can

this is my weight
lightness is the light i can't see beyond my sight
it's all this weight
all i need is a fresh slate
this is my weight
mostly all alright other times such a fight
so much weight

perfect images envisioned in the eyes
somehow the real thing always feels disguised
the real tainted by weak thoughts and white lies
often different but they really give the same high

so many choices yet only one to make
multiple paths one road to take
which are the right ones i will never see
but what is is better than what should be

this is my weight
lightness is the light i can't see beyond my sight
it's all just weight
never mind with a fresh slate
this is my weight
everything's bright when it sits under the moonlight
so much weight
