[Verse 1 – Rapped/Growled hybrid]
Bury my voice in static and smoke
Every breath is a goddamn joke
Carrying burdens that never were mine
Trapped in a cage made of guilt and time
Fists clenched, soul frayed
Another promise just decayed
Feeding the beast that never dies
Choking on your alibis
[Pre-Chorus – Sung clean, haunting]
I tried to be the backbone, the steel
But I lost myself in what you feel
How long can I fake it?
How long ‘til I break it?
[Chorus – Screamed with clean harmony]
I’m tired of holdin’ up the weight
Weight of the motherfuckin’ world!
My shoulders crack, my vision shakes
I scream but it’s never heard
I’m tired of holdin’ up the weight
Weight of the motherfuckin’ world!
Burn it down, let it fall
I won’t carry it anymore
[Verse 2 – Spoken word, then screamed]
You talk like I'm invincible
But I bleed just like you do
Underneath this armor
Is a war you never knew
(Explosion of guitars and drums)
You want a savior? I’m not your god!
You want control? You’ll get the rot!
Sink with the throne you built from bones!
You’re not the king, just alone!
[Pre-Chorus – Whispered to sung]
I gave and gave 'til nothing stayed
Now I rise through the flood and flame
[Chorus – Bigger, heavier]
I’m tired of holdin’ up the weight
Weight of the motherfuckin’ world!
Can’t feel the ground beneath my soul
I’m slipping through the swirl
I’m tired of holdin’ up the weight
Weight of the motherfuckin’ world!
No throne for a broken spine
This pain was never mine!
[Bridge – Slow, atmospheric with eerie effects]
(Whispered / whispered screams)
Let it fall… let it break… let it rot…
I was never meant to carry your god
Tear the cross from my back
Let it crash... fade to black…
[Final Chorus – Last eruption]
I’m tired of holdin’ up the weight
Weight of the motherfuckin’ world!
My fire's dead, my chains are gone
I'm not your martyr anymore
I’m tired of holdin’ up the weight
Weight of the motherfuckin’ world!
This is where I draw the line
Let it fall — this end is mine!
