Weight We Carry

Verse 1

I wake up heavy but I’m still breathing

World on my back, yeah I feel it leaning

Smiles get worn like borrowed clothes

Everybody hurting but nobody knows

I been quiet in rooms full of noise

Heart on mute but the pain got a voice

I don’t chase highs, I don’t beg for peace

I just want a moment where my mind feels free

Cracks in the armor, light slipping through

Every scar proof I survived what I knew

I ain’t broken, I’m bent in shape

Still standing tall in the waves I faced

Pre-Chorus (melodic)

If you’re tired of pretending you’re fine

You don’t gotta heal on someone else’s time

Chorus (big, emotional)

We all carry weight we don’t speak about

Silent storms we don’t let out

If you feel alone, you’re not unseen

I’m screaming hope through the in-between

Hold on tight when the ground feels weak

Even diamonds shake under pressure and heat

You’re not lost, you’re learning to breathe

Through the weight we carry underneath

Verse 2 (rap, grounded & reflective)

I been stuck in my head but I’m finding the door

Used to blame myself for things I can’t control

Everybody chasing someone else’s glow

Not knowing their shadow’s starting to show

I talk to the mirror, we making amends

Learning how to love who I been

I don’t need saving, I need to grow

Pain ain’t the end, it’s a signpost

I seen strong people fall apart quietly

Still show up daily, that’s bravery

If you feel weak, that don’t mean you failed

It means you cared enough to feel the weight

Pre-Chorus

You don’t have to bleed to be real

You don’t have to break just to heal

Chorus

We all carry weight we don’t speak about

Silent storms we don’t let out

If you feel alone, you’re not unseen

I’m screaming hope through the in-between

Hold on tight when the ground feels weak

Even diamonds shake under pressure and heat

You’re not lost, you’re learning to breathe

Through the weight we carry underneath

Bridge

Let the walls fall down

Let the truth be loud

You don’t have to drown

To know what depth is now

Final Chorus (lift, cathartic)

We all carry weight but we still rise up

Turn our wounds into reasons to trust

If you’re listening, you’re not alone

These words are a hand you can hold

Still breathing, still here, still free

Even when the night tries breaking me

I found my voice in the debris

Through the weight we carry… we still breathe

Outro

Yeah…
