Carry your weight up the staircase
Carry your weight through the graveyard gates
Carry your weight in war and truce
Carry your weight and others too
They snub you off like you're not even there
Carry your weight or you lose your head
Carry that weight in the quiet night
Twilight slips to the morning light
Carry that weight 'till your fingers shake
Carry that weight 'till your palms burn
Carry that weight like you thought
That someday someone will come
And carry you in return
And you lose just who you are
When the weight crushes your heart
And it hurts with every step
How you wish to be someone else
Just for a while
Carry your weight from nine to seven
Carry that shit since ninetyseven
Carry that weight just to feel alive
Carry that shit just to exist
And if they snub you off
You're gonna fuck them up
Carry that weight 'cause the others won't
Carry their weight 'till your head comes off
Carry their weight 'till the earth shakes
Carry their weight 'till the world burns
Carry their weight though you know that no-one will
Ever pay back and carry yours in return
And you lose just who you are
When the weight crushes your heart
And it hurts with every step
How you wish to be someone else
And it hurts with every step
How you wish to be someone else
Just for a while
And you lose just who you are
When the weight crushes your heart
And you lose just who you are
Just who you are
And it hurts with every step
How you wish to be someone else
And it hurts with every step
How you wish to be someone else
Just for a while
Just for a while
Just for a while
