Bm I a fool? Is my hoping in vain?
C#m F# C#m F#
I planted the seed of a shading tree, but I'm standing in the rain
C#m F# C#m F#

C#m F# C#m F#
I keep picking the scab of an old wound just to watch it bleed
[Chorus]
A G# C#m
and it's so heavy, too heavy to hold
[Verse]
C#m F# C#m F#
I watch my cup, fill up with doubt
C#m F# C#m F#
I keep drinking it up, you keep pouring it out
C#m F# C#m F#
You push so hard and I push back
C#m F# C#m F#
before I've even turned around your sights are set aimed and ready to attack
[Chorus]
A G# C#m
and it's so heavy too heavy to hold
A G# C#m
it's so heavy too heavy to hold
[Bridge]
A G#
I can't catch up
A G#
there's not enough time
A G#
we are so disconnected, discontented disappointed 'cause we lack connection
A
with each other and with the earth
G#
ignorantly thinking this is how it works
A
our lives have no meaning but defeat the machine
G#
repelling sadness and pain with the swip of a screen
A
people closing their mind, sewing their third eye shut
G# E C#
measuring what with money? and things they have not
[Chorus]
A G# C#m
and it's just so heavy, too heavy to hold
A G# C#m
it's just so heavy, too heavy to hold
[Outro]
C#m F# C#m F#
Bm I a fool? Is my hoping in vain?
