The Weight Songtext
von Traversus

Conditioned at its finest
To fit into this play
Lost all sense of connection
We′re withering away

We need to feel it as it's meant to be
The purest form of ecstacy

The weight
That is holding us down
Our full potential in their minds it drowned
You′re fooled, ridiculed
If you want to be you
No respect, they are stacked
And they're laughing, too
The weight
That is holding us down
Let's turn it around


They always try to run away
They know so well to hide
But mind you
We will find them every time
They sneak up in the corner
Then think we do not see
That what they′re creating is a tragedy

The weight
That is holding us down
Our full potential in their minds it drowned
You′re fooled, ridiculed
If you want to be you
No respect, they are stacked
And they're laughing, too
The weight
That is holding us down
Let′s turn it around

For all the times our heads hit the ground
For the gravel between our teeth
For all the times our fears were found
For the ones they left to bleed


The weight
That is holding us down
Our full potential in their minds it drowned
You're fooled, ridiculed
If you want to be you
No respect, they are stacked
And they′re laughing, too
The weight
That is holding us down
Let's turn it around
