let me rest, please
i don't need long
my feet can no longer handle to walk
and my arms can not hold all the mistakes i have made
so let me rest, please
i have lost my road
as well as my mind
and my friends
and family
and you
just let me sleep
it is how i can run away
please i just want to stand
i work to please you
yet no matter what, i do you wrong
let me refresh my mind
i can do you better if i am not in such a great pain
can you go one day with out pushing me down?
just leave me to rest
a forever long sleep
please.

home is where the heart is
where it lives
it learns to die and thrive
off the world that there is
it will twist and turn and break and fall
fix its self and back on the road
the heart remembers everything
you have done said and heard
keep care of your heart for one day it will leave the home
and tumble on this journey
until it stops and cant take anymore

baby i carry the weight of the world on my back
you just droped it on there without care
it broke my back and i had to slowly make my way
i was blamed for being slow, but maybe it wasn't me
maybe for once, i wasn't wrong
baby the world hurt me
it beat me down
yet still i carry the weight of the world on my back
im dead inside but so full of life in my body
baby read my eyes
can you see the color drain
baby im becoming lifeless now, but i cant go
because the weight of the world is on my back

why cant i look in the mirrior and see the person they see?
why do i think so negatively about myself?
how come they are my friends but i cant see that?
i don't want to be ashamed about who i am
i want to embrace it
i want to love myself for who i am and what i can become
i don't want to hate myself anymore
i want to see the me that my friends see
i want to smile at my reflection
who am i,
and why cant i just love that person?

down we sink
down we go
i don't want to leave
but down we must go
we will drown in tears
of broken souls
down we sink
down we go

as a whole body i shiver
i can feel the cold fear run up my spine
as my hands hold my arms
i run
far and fast
it feels as if the world
and everyone in it
can not touch me
