Weight & Carriage

Now I have scratched beneath the surface

And I really must confess

If you’re not with me in my dreams

Then I’ll never sleep again

I will never sleep again

Lover, she had eyes like no other

But now she looks straight through me

As her gaze it meets another's

Brother, am I now just like the others?

Cast out to the cold with no embrace from another

Well, what if we were to burn

Would we burn together

And would it really change a thing?

'Cause you set yourself alight

And we both went down in flames

Now it feels like I am losing all control

She said: There’s the door if this is getting too much for you

But we both knew I couldn’t leave if I wanted to

Well, what if we were to burn

The lights outside they shined so bright

But you’ve doused the flame in me

And they’ve all but died

And now I can see

The forest for the trees

Tell me how I am supposed to believe in myself

When you don’t believe in me

Oh, I'm an emotional wreck

She sold my soul to the devil

And then discarded the rest

She sang a siren's song for absolution

Swear it always plays out to the same conclusion

Left alone, left alone again

'Cause time with her is never time well spent

She still meant everything to me

But without her here

I think Iʼll find my peace

Iʼm finally at peace

I finally found release

Well, what if we were to burn

Would we burn together

And would it really change a thing?

'Cause you set yourself alight

And we both went down in flames

Now it feels like I am losing all control

She said: There’s the door if this is getting too much for you

But we both knew I couldn’t leave if I wanted to

Now you have faded from my thoughts

I can finally sleep again
