[Intro]
Pile it up—don’t hesitate
I’ve been built to take the weight
[Verse 1]
Every problem lands on me like gravity that never sleeps
Every crack you try to hide is something I’m forced to keep
I’ve been patching holes in people while mine split beneath the seams
Still I carry every burden like it’s something that I need
You collapse—I intervene before you ever hit the ground
You don’t hear the way I break when no one else is around
Every ounce of pressure stacks until it’s crushing through my chest
Still I nod and say I’ve got it—never showing I’m a mess
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t feel what I hold inside
You just reach while I provide
Every time I pay the price
You don’t see the sacrifice
[Chorus]
I’m the weight collector now—pile it higher, watch me stand
Breaking slowly, never showing, doing more than anyone can
You take everything I give and still expect what I don’t have
I’m the one you lean on daily while I’m falling just as fast
[Verse 2]
Never asked for this position but it’s where I always land
Being everything you needed turned me into less of a man
I’ve been giving past my limits, past the point of being whole
Now there’s nothing left to offer but the fragments of my soul
Every favor turns to pressure, every “thank you” turns to more
Every open hand you give me is just reaching to restore
What you lost inside yourself—I’m the fix you always use
Till there’s nothing left inside me and there’s nothing left to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
Every crack I hide away
So you never feel decay
I absorb what you can’t take
Even if it makes me break
[Chorus]
I’m the weight collector now—pile it higher, let it crush
Feel it grinding through my spine but I won’t ever let it rush
Into something you can see—I keep it buried out of sight
I’ll be everything you need even if I lose the fight
[Breakdown]
Take it all—I won’t drop
Even when my lungs just stop
Built to bleed—built to bend
Carry you until the end
Stack it high—test my frame
Turn my loss into your gain
I won’t fold—I won’t run
I’ll be standing when you’re done
[Bridge]
(half clean / half scream)
If I fall—does it matter?
If I break—who would gather
All the pieces that I gave
Just to keep you all in place?
[Final Chorus]
I’m the weight collector now—this is all I’ve ever known
Turning pain into a structure, building strength out of the stone
Even shattered, even empty, even barely holding form
I’ll be standing in the chaos like the center of the storm
[Outro]
Pile it up…
I’m still here…
