Shayfer James - Weight of the World lyrics
[Shayfer James - Weight of the World lyrics]
The last man standing in our sinister charade
Beneath the crumbling arches of
Our counterfeit arcade
He nobly knelt before us
He sang our savior's chorus
We left him spinning bloody plates
Upon his broken blade, but
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
And we'll all be the weak
And the weary sometime
One woman whistling a wounded lullaby
And preaching pain to
Every unsuspecting passerby
We knew her well before this
She promised portrait's of us
We cut her throat while she was
Waiting for the paint to dry, but
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime
And in the distance we’ll
Hear melancholy moans
The long forgotten have a
Habit for collecting loans but
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime
Beneath the crumbling arches of
Our counterfeit arcade
He nobly knelt before us
He sang our savior's chorus
We left him spinning bloody plates
Upon his broken blade, but
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
And we'll all be the weak
And the weary sometime
One woman whistling a wounded lullaby
And preaching pain to
Every unsuspecting passerby
We knew her well before this
She promised portrait's of us
We cut her throat while she was
Waiting for the paint to dry, but
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime
And in the distance we’ll
Hear melancholy moans
The long forgotten have a
Habit for collecting loans but
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime
