[Verse 1]

Carry your weight up a staircase

Carry your weight through graveyard gates

Carry your weight in war and truce

Carry your weight and others too

They snub you off like you're not even there

Carry your weight or you lose your head

Carry that weight in the quiet night

Twilight slips to the morning light

Carry your weight 'till your fingers shake

Carry your weight 'till your palms burn

And you carry that weight

Like thought that someday someone will come

And carry you in return

[Pre-Chorus]

And you lose just who you are

When the weight crushes your heart

[Chorus]

And it hurts with every step

How you wish to be someone else

Just for a while

[Verse 2]

Carry your weight from 9 to 7

Carry that shit since 97

Carry your weightjust to feel alive

Carry that shit just to exist

And if they snub you off

You're gonna fuck them up

Carry that weight 'cause the others won't

Carry their weight 'till your head comes off

Carry their weight 'till the earth shakes

Carry their weight 'till the world burns

And you carry their weight though you know that no-one will

Ever pay back and carry yours in return

[Pre-Chorus]

And you lose just who you are

When the weight crushes your heart

[Chorus]

And it hurts with every step

How you wish to be someone else

And it hurts with every step

How you wish to be someone else

Just for a while

[Pre-Chorus]

And you lose just who you are

When the weight crushes your heart

And you lose just who you are

Just who you are

[Chorus]

And it hurts with every step

How you wish to be someone else

And it hurts with every step

How you wish to be someone else

Just for a while

Just for a while

Just for a while
