Hold My Weight

I like to hide behind the mess I’ve made

or maybe I’m stuck in my mind

well here there come again

just before the end

tellin’ me that I’m not makin’ sense

maybe they’re right

please don’t take too long

I don’t know where they go

but it’s empty in this place

so I’m countin’ down the days

til they hold my weight

when it’s over I’ll be closer

and I’ll start to feel my age

so I’m countin’ down the days

til they hold my weight

heard it only lasts for so long

so I just stay here waiting

mind is on the ropes

took a picture of the thoughts that I just can’t seem to hold

feel another change in my bones

can’t hear what the bad mans sayin’

keep his face out of my head

can’t remember all the words that he had said

please don’t wait too long

I don’t know where they go

but it’s empty in this place

so I’m countin’ down the days

til they hold my weight

when it’s over I’ll be closer

and I’ll start to feel my age

so I’m countin’ down the days

til they hold my weight

don’t you complicate these memories we made please

fantasize the words you’ll put upon your grave stone

am I alright

am I alright

am I alright now

just give it time

just give it time

just give it time now

don’t you wanna save these for the rainy days we

navigate away from places made to make us crazy

are we alright

are we alright

are we alright now

just give us time

just give us time

just give us time now

please

when you leave

lock the door and take the key

don’t be gone too long now

I don’t know where they go

but it’s empty in this place

so I’m countin’ down the days

til they hold my weight

when it’s over I’ll be closer

and I’ll start to feel my age

so I’m countin’ down the days

til they hold my weight
