Weight of the World
Carry your ghost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too many times I have been misguided
without knowing what's in front of me
I used to be that lone boy once before
but now I see what's right for me

Conformity is calamity
and I'm constantly struggling with apathy
With the world to change
I'll be the light you see
I can't embrace defeat
my passion will never succumb to inaction
I need to pick myself up
I need to stay on track

While fighting fears that I may drift from this
I'm finding what it is, that will clench my fists

We will act as a light for you




in your darkest times
we will guide you through
