Weight of the World Lyrics
You're caught in a vice by your own device, torment and pressure, a way of life
You felt the stardom and tasted the fruit, you claw your way back, it's all that you can do
All that you can do
Falling from grace, so many have done, get to the top and bask in the sun
Make some mistakes, it's part of the game, when you play it everything's to gain...
The weight of the world upon your shoulders, it's the weight of the world
The struggle within archaic desire, claim your right and devour
All that surrounds you, all you can take, don't let your last, be your last mistake
Your last mistake
The weight of the world upon your shoulders, it's the weight of the world
The pressure is building, the vice becomes tighter, under the gun and into the fire
Burning and burning, no escape to be found
The weight of the world is keeping you down
The weight of the world upon your shoulders
The pressure is building, an unwilling soldier
The weight of the world is keeping you down
Oh, your world is crashing down to the ground
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
The weight of the world!...
You felt the stardom and tasted the fruit, you claw your way back, it's all that you can do
All that you can do
Make some mistakes, it's part of the game, when you play it everything's to gain...
All that surrounds you, all you can take, don't let your last, be your last mistake
Your last mistake
Burning and burning, no escape to be found
The weight of the world is keeping you down
The pressure is building, an unwilling soldier
The weight of the world is keeping you down
Oh, your world is crashing down to the ground
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
