Something Heavy

(five, six, seven eight)
I hate myself, you should hate you too
I hate myself, you should hate you too
I hate myself, you should hate you too
I hate myself, you should hate you too

[Verse 1]
Thought I'd fade into the haze of adulthood
Maybe build some nice shelves and die
But convulsing here on the bathroom floor
I've become hubris personified

Stuck in the "it gets worse" part of getting better
Without the satisfaction of Pacific shedder
Is this growth or more controlled rot?
Decades of pressure, the wound still won't clot

[Pre-Chorus]
Suffice to say, I'm still on my way

[Chorus]
There's something heavy here
That pulls me down
Looming large inside of me
Aching to crown
I tend to prattle on
And my legs do shake
But when that rattle's gone
I carry the weight

[Verse 2]
I don't want to be famous, I wanna help
And figure out how crying on vacation can build wealth

We are moderately influential warlords
We are cosmic royalty
Drape our heavenly bodies in purple
And let it all unfold lawfully

[Pre-Chorus]
Suffice to say, I'm probably here to stay
A barnacle on your brain stem
No tide could ever pull me away

[Chorus]
There's something heavy here
That pulls me down
Looming large inside of me
Aching to crown
I tend to prattle on
And my legs do shake
But when that rattle's gone
I carry the weight

[Breakdown: Erik Garlington & Benjamin Liebsch]
To feel whole
I would give up all these gifts
That's not true
Starting over's just another grift
We've seen it get dark
But there were always nights
We could still see the stars

We've been hurling through space
We have run long enough
It's time that we gave chase
We've seen it get dark
But there were always nights
We could still see the stars

There's something heavy here
But I carry the weight
