heavy 1

I'm pledging all to nothing, the dreams are fading out Into reverberation, lend me silence, lend me time Don't let the sun come shining, don't let the day begin The night is ringing out, thrown outside to cast about I put my faith in fire, now ash is all I got I've played out all my cards, fired off my final shot I have my way of dreaming, illusions in the sky I set myself ablaze, riding in a constant haze Blessed and burned, left unturned Blessed dream, turning into steam Gotta ride it out, gotta let it go Gotta get it off my back, gotta get up on the track Gotta ride it out, gotta let it go Soaring under heavy skies I'm pledging all to nothing, the dreams are fading out Into reverberation, lend me silence, lend me time Don't let the sun come shining, don't let the day begin I've played out all my cards, can't seem to get it off my back Blessed and burned, left unturned Blessed dream, turning into steam Gotta ride it out, gotta let it go Gotta get it off my back, gotta get up on the track Gotta ride it out, gotta let it go Soaring under heavy skies

I'm fighting it I'm constantly grabbing for moments that slip Like sand between the fingers in my balled up fist I spent some days out on the coast this year And back in the midwest where it feels like home Everybody's stressed out by the incoming cold I keep my hands warm in my sweatshirt pocket But I can't stay for too long Cause I've been searching and what I'm finding I've been sold on the same old dreams Like changing scenery will change anything No matter the distance I'll always be At arms length from finding any peace I don't blame suburbia for the way I was brought up with decent opportunity I wasted my time scraping knees on the concrete, chasing what I thought I should be And when I was younger I was so naive taking for granted all the things that I need And tragedy meant nothing to me But I learned before long Cause when I leave home is when I feel it most I've been sold on the same old dreams Like changing scenery will change anything No matter the distance I'll always be At arms length from finding any peace I still have hope I'll learn to cope with things And fill my eyes with something better than this melancholy shade of blue The dark I feel each afternoon It lessens more each day I'm getting better with age and, I'm okay I'm okay I've been sold on the same old dreams Like changing scenery will change anything No matter the distance I'll always be At arms length from who I want to be At arms length from who I want to be

We're words upon a window Written there in steam In the heat of the moment At the birth of a dream Vapors passing really So I'm touched by the thoughts In the fleeting minutes after The time that we've come Come and go, you know, where the wind blows An' though I couldn't define I can only tell you that I Got a heavy soul Tuesdays dressed in shearling Anchored on belief In the sunlight on the water Or rain upon a leaf And I'm touched by its' beauty And I hope to touch you too 'Cause I still seek the same things That I once sought to be true And you know, that's where the wind blows Tho' I wouldn't be lying, when I tell you that I Got a heavy soul, it's a joy to know I've just told you so, I've got a heavy soul Words upon a window Written there in steam In the heat of the moment Everything is what it seems Vapors passing nearly So I'm touched by the thought That I can't be beaten And I can't be bought And you'll know It's a joy to know I don't think, I'd be lyin' When I tell you that I I've got a heavy soul And it's a joy to know I've just told you so Yeah, I've got a heavy soul And it's a joy to know I've just told you so I've got a heavy soul Got a heavy soul
