I keep picking the scab of an old wound just to watch it bleed

and it's so heavy, too heavy to hold

I watch my cup, fill up with doubt
Fm A# Fm A#
I keep drinking it up, you keep pouring it out
Fm A# Fm A#
You push so hard and I push back
Fm A# Fm A#
before I've even turned around your sights are set aimed and ready to attack

and it's so heavy too heavy to hold

it's so heavy too heavy to hold

C# C
I can't catch up
C# C
there's not enough time
C# C
we are so disconnected, discontented disappointed 'cause we lack connection
C#
with each other and with the earth

ignorantly thinking this is how it works
C#
our lives have no meaning but defeat the machine

repelling sadness and pain with the swip of a screen
C#
people closing their mind, sewing their third eye shut
C G# F
measuring what with money? and things they have not
[Chorus]

and it's just so heavy, too heavy to hold
C# C Fm
it's just so heavy, too heavy to hold
[Outro]
