“Carry the Weight” is the second song from Senses Fail’s sixth album Pull the Thorns from Your Heart.
When the song premiered “Carry the Weight” through Revolver Magazine, Senses Fail vocalist Buddy Nielsen stated:
We all carry the weight in the only way we know. For some us that looks effortless...
[Verse 1]
I used to want to die but now I believe
Not in a distant god, there's a love I found in me
I’d rather be awake and in pain than asleep
Singing as if no one can hear takes more courage than you think
[Chorus]
I carried the weight in the only way I knew
I carried the weight in the only way I knew
[Verse 2]
I was scared enough to lie and say that I’m okay
When inside I was dying, so confused, so alone, so afraid
I hope you never know what it’s like to hide a piece of yourself inside
Or to be so fucking ashamed you’d rather kill yourself than be alive
[Chorus]
I want to be alive
I carried the weight in the only way I knew
I want to be alive
I carried the weight in the only way I knew
[Bridge]
I'm still scared but I’ve got courage to be
More vulnerable and one day free
Now my heart isn’t covered in concrete
I breathe, I breathe
No longer scared of the vulnerability
No longer scared of the person that I see
