[Verse 1]

I'm mentally undressed with my back against your mattress

I'm great at sleep but damn, I can use the practice

I never painted houses but I might just paint my own

Spattered explanations on scraps of paper and pixel-stained phones


[Chorus]

Levity is slowly killing me

I need some weight on my shoulders

To keep myself awake

Levity is slowly killing me

I need some weight on my shoulders

I'm sick of tempting fate


[Verse 2]

I'm mentally a mess, but it's so hard to confess

Vices hold me close from pre to post, so you should keep your distance

I never loved the weakness but I mean it

When I say this feels like home

The coffee pot is hot, and the shots are always cold

I'm a masochist

You're a lover, I'm a fighter and a pacifist

A rags-to-riches philanthropist

I'm a hopeless romantic

Lost in semantics again


[Chorus]

Levity is slowly killing me

I need some weight on my shoulders

To keep myself awake

Levity is slowly killing me

I need some weight on my shoulders

I'm sick of tempting fate


[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus]

Levity is slowly killing me

I need some weight on my shoulders

To keep myself awake

Levity is slowly killing me

I need some weight on my shoulders

I'm sick of tempting fate

I'll keep myself awake
