Weight of the World
Davis Alana Lyrics

Each day, I say that today won?t be like yesterday
I wake up every day hoping that it will be different from the day before.

But it stays this way
However, things remain the same and I still feel the weight of the world on my shoulders.

Today and everyday
Not just today, but every day.

I pray
I ask for help and hope for a different outcome.

That today will feel a different way
I hope that today will be unlike the others filled with heaviness and sadness.

But it stays this way
Unfortunately, things remain the same and I can't seem to escape my troubles.

The weight of the world has fallen
I feel like I carry the burden of the entire world on my shoulders.

And the rubble is at my feet
All around me are the remains of what used to be.

The voice of a girl is calling
I hear someone calling out to me, but they are buried so deep I can't figure out who it is.

I can hear her
I can hear the faint cries for help, but they seem too far away.

But she?s buried so deep
The person in need is buried under layers of pain and hurt.

All of my truths are broken
All the things I once believed to be true have dissolved and are now shattered pieces.

They?re fragments of love and hate
My beliefs are all mixed up with feelings of love and hate that I can't seem to sort out.

The words that remain are a token
The only things that still hold some importance to me are the few words that ring true.

Of honesty that came too late
Unfortunately, the honesty came too late to make any real difference.

Here
In this place where I've found myself.

In the midst of madness
Things are going crazy all around me.

Washed up by the tides of war
I feel like I've been brought here from the chaos of a war zone.

Try to resist this sadness
I'm trying my best to fight off the overwhelming sadness that threatens to overtake me.

But the pressure is hard to endure
It's hard to keep up the fight against the negative emotions when they are so intense.

Yet we begin again
Despite everything, we still try to start anew.

Still playing our games
We are still trying to push through and play the roles we're used to.

And everyone?s innocent
Nobody is really responsible for the way things are now.

Just victims of change
We are all caught up in the whirlwind of change that's trying to sweep us off our feet.

Wearing a mask of freedom
We are all pretending to be free from the troubles that burden us.

And hiding behind a smile
We all put on a smile to hide the pain that's deep inside.

Playing the role of a leader
We pretend to have everything under control and act like we can lead ourselves out of this mess.

Pretending for just a while
However, this pretense only lasts for a short while before the real emotions come rushing in.

Everything seems an illusion
Everything around me feels fake and like it's just a mirage.

Echoing around my brain
These illusions are forever stuck in my mind, never leaving me alone.

Trapped in a vast seclusion
I feel trapped and isolated from the outside world, unable to escape my own thoughts.

Where the images fall like rain
Terrible images and thoughts rain down on me and I can't seem to make it stop.

Living in sin again
I find myself repeating the same mistakes again and again, stuck in a cycle of wrongdoing.

With no one to blame
Nobody is responsible for my actions but myself.

And everyone?s innocent
Nobody is truly guilty, but we are all victims of the circumstances around us.

Just victims of change
The changes in our lives have swept us all up and made us powerless.

Each day, I say that today won?t be like yesterday
Each day I try to convince myself that things will change for the better.

But it stays this way
However, things stay the same and I'm still weighed down by the problems of the world.

Today and everyday
Every single day.

I pray
I pray and hope for a better future.

That today will feel a different way
That maybe, just maybe, today will be different than the rest.

But it stays this way
Unfortunately, things remain the same and my struggles persist.
