Weights Too Heavy Lyrics

If I work with all my body

If I work with all my soul

Could I grasp a hint of glory

Or a stake in rightful gold?

Will I find what I'm after?

Could I finally feel alive?

With my eyes blue with treasure

Could I finally say goodbye?

Hatch a thought to burn and light my way

Fledgling spark, glows and fades away

I beat my head 'til I see stars

Suns they rise, with songs of birds of prey

Cosmic arcs, they change but stay the same

I beat my head, then it's gone

Run, run, run, chase the warm weather

Always out of reach

Run, run, run, catch the cool zephyr

Leading between your feet

One by one, the fancies fall faster

Cowed down from their knees

Vanity in all but eternal

Life without cause in front of you

For the sake of speculation

There's a city in my head

For beholding all oppression

And the none to comfort them

Could I drink past the sorrow

A draught of numb Eden

Or return all I've borrowed

A void that ever deepens

Hatch a thought to burn and light my way

Fledgling spark, glows and fades away

I beat my head 'til I see stars

Suns they rise, with songs of birds of prey

Cosmic arcs, they change but stay the same

I beat my head, then it's gone

Run, run, run, chase the warm weather

Always out of reach

Run, run, run, catch the cool zephyr

Leading between your feet

One by one, the fancies fall faster

Cowed down from their knees

Vanity in all but eternal

Life without cause in front of you

In a perfect world we're listening

Out and in, the Lord is breathing

But in my head the hum is pounding

False gods scream seductive yearning

With a smile, I trick my right hand

Right hand man, hail, Saint Self-Seeking

With a spark of exaltation

We praise things, we praise destruction

Ah, ah, ah!

Holy, holy, Lord Almighty

Crush the things we hold beside Thee

Lift in us an eerie silence

To know our place in boundless violence

Holy Jesus, weights too heavy

Choke our hearts, we cry for mercy

With a spark of exaltation

"Only You" our mouths are singing

Ah, ah, ah!
