[Verse 1]
Wake up heavy
Like my name’s a crime
Every step that I take
Feels like I steal your time
I hear my heartbeat
And I just hear blame
I’m the joke in the room
That forgot its own name
[Chorus]
I am the burden in my bones
The quiet weight that cuts like stone
I feel wrong
Down to the marrow
But I’m still walking through the smoke
Still dragging armor through the choke
I break
I bleed
I bend
I won’t let go
I fight through sorrow
[Verse 2]
Every small favor
Feels like I pulled a pin
Afraid that your kindness
Is just pity dressed as a grin
I say “I’m fine”
You nod
You move on
I drown in a crowd
Yet I’m scared to be gone
[Chorus]
I am the burden in my bones
The quiet weight that cuts like stone
I feel wrong
Down to the marrow
But I’m still walking through the smoke
Still dragging armor through the choke
I break
I bleed
I bend
I won’t let go
I fight through sorrow
[Bridge]
I’m not your problem
I’m my own war
Every scar is a promise
That I’ve been here before
If every breath
Is a losing bet
I’ll keep on breathing
’Til the house is in debt (yeah)
[Chorus]
I am the burden in my bones
The quiet weight that cuts like stone
I feel wrong
Down to the marrow
But I’m still walking through the smoke
Still dragging armor through the choke
I break
I bleed
I bend
I won’t let go
I fight through sorrow
