Cursory glance
To deliberate blinds
The realities of the knowing eyes
Pushed me to move
Rearrange a few lies
Love showered me in praise left me to dry
Prodigy child
To prodigal son
The fascination in "be all but one"
Left me to be
Mediocre at some
Couldn't take it alone
But couldn't give up the gun
Now everything is so heavy
Heavy on my mind
Wanna say I'm not ready
But time isn't mine
Try to keep it steady
And hold on tight
But everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time
Love of a child
To love for a day
The narrowing of life swept years away
Urged me to beg
Forgotten lives to stay
Memories are strong but not enough to sway
Now everything is so heavy
Heavy on my mind
Wanna say I'm not ready
But time isn't mine
Try to keep it steady
And hold on tight
But everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time
And I could pretend the hurting wasn't here
But closing both of my eyes it won't make
All the weight disappear
And I could ask to lay my cross down for the day
But it can't stop now
It couldn't stop anyway
Could you help me carry it
Could you help me carry it
Could you help me
'Cause everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time
Wanna say I'm not ready
But time isn't mine
Try to keep it steady
And hold on tight
But everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time
Everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time
Everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time
Everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time
Everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time
