weight. Lyrics

On my back I feel my past adding weight after weight after weight

My father tries to recognize me empty eyes staring at my face

I May never be that child who washed his hands and said his grace

But Today

I present to you a sinner I present to you a writer

I present you a daughter who's so tired of being a liar

I present the world my soul let it set the earth on fire

Let it's warmth fuel revolutions let it's beauty be admired

Im dropping tears on fronto leaf I kiss the blunt until I'm tired

I've tried to sleep away the pain until the days blend in my mind

I still persist despite my best efforts

Liquor on my lips they light the torches for the leper

I'm stuffed inside the crawl space gimme a knock when it gets better

Promise if i have to leave we'll board the flight together

His features that remain stain my body with reminders

Follicles rip through my skin my shoulders stretch ever wider

This voice… it could never represent my soul

This body defies me no wonder why it's never felt like home

They tell me I'm beautiful I hope one day to believe it

And when I die say my name for all the times i couldn't see it
