Weight of Lies

It feels as if my body is collapsing
Like Atlas carrying the weight of the globe
My shoulders carry a weight of a thousand lies
It's so heavy, dragging me down to the floor
Won't someone come and take the weight off?

You said you would hold my hand
All of them said the same thing
But why have you all left me
Alone, carrying my weight solo

My body won't give up
But my spirit has
I live because I cannot die
And when I die, will I smile?

If you see me struggling but don't help me
I might haunt you in my next life
If I even have the amount of virtue needed
To even acquire a next life

This weight of lord drags me down
Am I okay? No!
When have I ever been okay?
I'm always lying to everyone

Congratulations, I'm so happy for you all
You met friends that were better than me
And you left me alone to sink
In the weight of lies

I'm going deeper and deeper
My body can't be caught
Above the ocean, heaven
Below the ocean, a fallen angel's tears.
