All its weight is on my head As I lie awake in my bed Feeling I’d be better off dead But that’s not what the doctor said I get the feeling that he lied To rid my tears and hush my cries At the end of the day his hands are tied Would it just be easier if I died? To float up from the bed I lay on And travel to whatever’s beyond One final breath without yearn or long And all of a sudden the weight is gone.

The Weight
All its weight is on my head As I lie awake in my bed Feeling I’d be better off dead But that’s not what the doctor said I get the feeling that he lied To rid my tears and hush my cries At the end of the day his hands are tied Would it just be easier if I died? To float up from the bed I lay on And travel to whatever’s beyond One final breath without yearn or long And all of a sudden the weight is gone.
