The Weight

ask me all about rejection 
ask me all about disgrace
ask me all about repression
i won’t blink though it’s in my face
ask me when i learned to hide
and just how i got to keep it all inside
ask me why i built a wall
‘cause i’ve got no choice
i have to swallow it all
for you
i’m losing my faith / i’m choosing my fate
it’s so late now / i can’t bear the weight
tell me all about forgiveness / tell me all about remorse
tell me all about redemtion / i will learn to kneel in due course
tell me how you’ll set me free / with the sacrifices that you made for me
tell me you’ll bring down the walls / ‘cause i’ve got no choice
i have to swallow it all / for you
tell me how you’ll set me free / with the sacrifices that you made for me
tell me how you’ll set me free / ‘cause it’s so late
i can’t bear the weight
