Deadweight Lyrics

So much hell for a demon like me
The air is too hot and foggy to breathe

When will it take?
Will it take, take to shed this deadweight
How long will I wait? How long will I wait?
How long for the tables to turn

Always heading in the wrong direction
Always heading in the wrong direction

You say that I’m the one to blame
when after all assumption is the mother of all mistakes

As I begin to unfold the very veil of lies that I now behold
Hanging over my shoulder, well it just don’t wear away

When will it take?
Will it take, take to shed this deadweight
How long will I wait? How long will I wait?
How long for the tables to turn

Always heading in the wrong direction
Always heading in the wrong direction

As I begin to unfold the very veil of lies that I now behold
Hanging over my shoulder, well it just don’t wear away

So much hell for a demon like me
The air is too hot and foggy to breathe

Give it time, to shake off this deadweight
Just give it time, to shake off this deadweight
Just give it time, to shake off this deadweight
Just give it time, to shake off the deadweight

One Foot In The Grey

So much hell for a demon like me
The air is too hot and foggy to breathe

When will it take?
Will it take, take to shed this deadweight
How long will I wait? How long will I wait?
How long for the tables to turn

Always heading in the wrong direction
Always heading in the wrong direction

You say that I’m the one to blame
when after all assumption is the mother of all mistakes

As I begin to unfold the very veil of lies that I now behold
Hanging over my shoulder, well it just don’t wear away

When will it take?
Will it take, take to shed this deadweight
How long will I wait? How long will I wait?
How long for the tables to turn

Always heading in the wrong direction
Always heading in the wrong direction

As I begin to unfold the very veil of lies that I now behold
Hanging over my shoulder, well it just don’t wear away

So much hell for a demon like me
The air is too hot and foggy to breathe

Give it time, to shake off this deadweight
Just give it time, to shake off this deadweight
Just give it time, to shake off this deadweight
Just give it time, to shake off the deadweight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
