Deadweight Lyrics
You’re putting distance between
The cause and the pain
The steps that you take
How heavy they feel
I know that sanctuary is necessary
But you can’t just turn away
The choice that you make
is getting harder to levy
Do you want to become the person you hate?
Forced by the voices
Is it ever enough to feel the strain?
This could all be avoided
Soon as it’s ended you’ve started again
You’ll never make your last mistake
Pray the question never gets answered and then
You save yourself the time it takes
The futility of a silent plea
Left in your mind
The consequence
Your punishment
You’re the deadweight
You’re the deadweight
Self sabotage again
See it for what it is
The cause and the pain
The steps that you take
How heavy they feel
But you can’t just turn away
The choice that you make
is getting harder to levy
Forced by the voices
Is it ever enough to feel the strain?
This could all be avoided
You’ll never make your last mistake
Pray the question never gets answered and then
You save yourself the time it takes
Left in your mind
The consequence
Your punishment
You’re the deadweight
Self sabotage again
See it for what it is

This track revolves around self-sabotage and a struggle with internal burdens. The lyrics depict a cycle of making mistakes, feeling the strain, and repeating the pattern, where the individual becomes their own "deadweight," a burden on themselves. It explores the idea of being weighed down by actions that prevent one from making progress and escaping a negative, self-destructive cycle.
