The Weight Of The World - Lyrics by Davis Alana


Lyrics
Each day I say that today
Won't be like yesterday
But it stays this way
Today and every day I pray
That today will feel a different way
But it stays this way
The weight of the world has fallen
And the rubble is at my feet
The voice of a girl is calling
I can hear her but she's buried so deep
All of my truths are broken
They're fragments of love and hate
The words that remain are a token
Of honesty that came too late
Here in the midst of madness
Washed up by the tides of war
Try to resist this sadness
But the pressure is hard to endure
Yet we begin again still playing our games
And everyone's innocent
Just victims of change
Wearing a mask of freedom
And hiding behind a smile
Playing the roll of a leaderpretending for just a while
Everything seems an illusion
Echoing around my brain
Trapped in a vast seclusion
Where the images fall like rain
And we begin again
Still playing our games
And everyone's innocent
Just victims of change
Living in sin again
With no one to blame
And everyone's innocent
Just victims of change
Every day I say that today
Won't be like yesterday
But it stays this way
Today and every day I pray
That today I will feel a different way
But it stays this way
