Weight Of The World
Pigeon John Lyrics

Sometimes I feel the weight of the world
Occasionally, the burden of the problems and stressors of society seeps into my life.

And its so heavy and its bringing me down
The impact of these issues is severely depressing me.

Wake up to another day
Each morning, I arise to face another day of struggles and responsibilities.

Gotta get to work gotta get the big pay
I need to go to my job and get a good paycheck to take care of my expenses.

I got car notes and rent and the other nonsense
I have a car payment and rent to pay, in addition to other unnecessary expenses.

That's slowly turning me into a slave
These financial obligations are making me feel like I am trapped and controlled by my finances.

But its ok because I look good
Even though my finances are cumbersome, I can still feel happy because I have nice things.

I got the best clothes and the best neighborhood
My clothing and living situation is the best I could ever hope for.

And that's what it's about the American dream
This luxurious lifestyle embodies the concept of the American dream.

In a rat race but the rats want cream
The world is a competitive place, but everyone wants success and happiness.

In an obscene amount more than I can count
The amount of success and riches others have seems unimaginable and much more than I have.

So I won't recognize that I'm drowning deep
I refuse to acknowledge that I am struggling and hurting myself by ignoring my problems.

In the oceans of life my breathe full of strife
My life is a constant struggle, and I feel the pain deep in my soul.

And my head aches the stress just pounding me down
The mental burden of my life is causing my head to hurt and my emotions to suffer.

Hear comes the tears of a clown
I may seem happy on the outside, but my internal pain is causing me to cry.

The hottest name in the whole town this time
Despite my struggles, I am still successful and famous in my community.

But the frown that's inside is hidden by my pride
Despite my sadness, I refuse to show my emotions and instead focus on my accomplishments.

Cause everything I want is mine
Even though my life is a struggle, I have everything I need to succeed and be happy.

Gotta peek out just make sure it safe
I need to check to make sure I am safe and secure in today's unpredictable society.

Cause these times are changing and reshaping
The current era is a time of great turbulence and uncertainty.

Into something I cant face and it feels strange
I am overwhelmed and scared by the constant changes happening in the world.

We got religious people judging the whole world
Many people in society are condemning others for their beliefs and lifestyle choices.

We got pimps and hoes once boys and girls
The same people who were once innocent children are now involved in nefarious activities.

We got the media telling us whose to blame
The media is always pointing fingers and assigning blame for issues in society.

But whose the media who's really running the game
The media is not really in control, but instead being manipulated by those in power behind the scenes.

Cause life is long as an unsung song in the dark
Life is a long and difficult journey, much like a song that goes unnoticed and unheard in the dark.

I'm getting confused I'm getting upset
The constant turmoil of the world is causing me mental distress and anxiety.

Things don't work out I'm hunting a check
Whenever things don't go as planned, I need to work harder to make more money.

Regret is creeping up my window
As I get older, I am starting to have regrets and question my life choices.

My life is reachin a crescendo
My life is nearing its peak or climax, and I am unsure what comes next.

I gotta numb it with drank and endo
To cope with my problems, I resort to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain.

Not chasing a dream I'm wasting time
I am not sure what my goals are, and I feel like I am wasting my time on this earth.

But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
Despite my outward success, I still feel overwhelmed by the constant struggles and hardships of life.

And its so heavy and its bringing me down
The burden of these problems is dragging me deep into a depressive state.

I'm having a great day everythings ok
Even though I feel weighed down by the world, I try to put on a happy face and pretend everything is okay.

Just don't look in my eyes
If you look deeper into my emotions, you will see the pain and sadness that I am trying to hide.

I gotta get up I gotta get up
Despite my struggles, I still need to get up and continue to work towards my goals.
