Weighed Down Part 2

We all have a thief dying to come out We must control that side of us…We must undo that knot (we must solve the case) We are victims in our own minute minds…no doubt We must arrest that criminal…before it causes mischief and what not (find your own way out of my maze) Reawaken from solitude The sun’s rising…and you’re frustrated and nude Stray away into the path of delight…before the day turns to night Don’t miss the words from my mouth…echoing heaven’s light Descending in quietude Don’t look my direction…I weep for safety’s sake… Show off your effulgence…your delicate, serene tune… I don’t mean to be rude…but please lift up my mood Arise as the moon in the shady night… Promise me you won’t break Your life isn’t at stake… I love you for cat’s sake! (chorus) Weighed down… I’m wearing a remorseful frown… Weighed down… Gravity holds me down To the ground… without a sound…. Face down… Without a sound… left there without a sound… Without a sound… no one cared… they never did from the start And it breaks my heart To say this, but I feel this way… And I don’t want to fade away… Left without a trace… Look at my bloodied face And solve this bewildering, Outlandish case While you do that, I’ll be running the race But, I’ve learned That we all wear that mask…of a miserable clown Swim with me Promise me You’ll be my candlelight On the surface of the chaotic sea Will you be so kind to stay by my side for awhile? Don’t fly too high Like a kite caught in the wind… Don’t drift away…don’t fade to gray…
