Weight of the World - Blue October

A blackout in the room again

A busted lip and broken skin

I wake up in the bathroom

And dare not bother asking

Why the mirror’s cracked and all I see

Are shards of glass inside of me

There’s voices there to dare me

My father’s here to scare me

And my mother, she sits beyond the door

She’s curled up crying on the floor

Look at what her son’s done

When the weight of all the world’s gone wrong

Wrong again

Gone fucking wrong again

Well, liars they leave a guilty trail

Let me tell you: I’ve been lying for years

That must be why I’m standing in this space

Constantly, over and over

I’m disregarding that I have created these monsters

That are on both of my sides

So I wipe the blood from both of their eyes

From all four of their eyes

And while I wait for wounds to heal, I see you by the windowsill

Your heart’s torn out, a plastic spoon

When honesty lit up that room

So I stole the pillowcase to clean

This mess I’ve made of someone’s dream

Now you’ve seen what I’ve done

When the weight of all the world’s gone wrong again

Gone fucking wrong again

This room is old and wise

I fall onto the bed and wonder

«How did I get here?»

I was a little boy who would argue with a tree

Go ahead, thump his head

He’ll turn back to normal

Now why is that what I see?

Don’t bother trusting me, don’t bother waiting

Don’t bother changing things that won’t give into changing

Just let me go away

I’m packed

Down, whenever

Let’s go

Let’s really, really go
