Weight of the World ------Blue October Submitted by whatiaminstead quick note: The in the chorus may be ’s you’ll have to try it and let me know. A blackout in the room again. A busted lip and broken skin. I wake up in the bathroom And dare not bother asking Why the mirror’s cracked and all I see Are shards of glass inside of me. There’s voices there to dare me My father’s here to scare me. My mother sits beyond the door She’s curled up crying on the floor Look at what her son’s done. A E When the weight of all the world’s gone wrong. It’s gone wrong again. Gone so wrong. It’s gone wrong again. Well liars they leave a guilty trail. And let me tell you something people I’ve been lying all these years. A Bm That must be why I’m standing in this space. Disregarding that I’ve created these monsters They sit at both of my sides So I wipe the blood from both of their eyes. From all four of their eyes. And while I wait for wounds to heal I see you by the window sill Your heart’s torn out A plastic spoon When honesty lit up that room So I stole the pillowcase to clean This mess I’ve made of someone’s dream. Now you’ve seen what I’ve done When the weight of all the world’s gone wrong. It’s gone wrong again A E Gone so wrong It’s gone all wrong again. This room is old and wise I fall onto the bed and wonder "How did I get here?" The little boy who would argue with a tree Just go and thump his head! And he’ll turn back to normal. Now why is that what I see? Don’t bother trusting Don’t bother waiting Don’t bother changing things that won’t give into changing Just let me go away. I’m packed Whenever I’m down Whenever. Let’s go. Yes let’s go.
