Movements Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I over think too much
And this weight becomes too heavy to handle
But there's a solace in introspection
Because living in my mind is easier
Protection

I'm finding out that I don't have a lot to say to people these days
Yet I have so many thoughts running through my mind
I am desperately longing to create something of substance
So that my thoughts become the words I somehow can't find
They are lost and I can't find them
They are lost, but I am trying to find what is lost

But I'm buried in the weight of everything you said
I'll spend my days in solitude
I'll never leave this bed
And when you left, I told myself that I would carry on
But I'm struggling to find my way
Unsure of this path I walk, but I carry on
I carry on

I over think too much
And this weight becomes too heavy to handle
But there's a solace in introspection
Because living in my mind is easier
Protection

I over think too much
And this weight becomes too heavy to handle
But there's a solace in introspection




Because living in my mind is easier
Protection
