Weighted Down
Until we are ghosts Lyrics

I've had enough of everything pulling me under. I just want to breathe on my own.
I am tired of feeling overwhelmed by everything in my life, and I want to have the freedom to make my own decisions and be independent.

This sacrifice of living for me is the noose that has tangled my throat.
My obligation to live up to others' expectations has become suffocating and is holding me back from being who I truly am.

These bones are for breaking. I won't crumble beneath the weight.
I am strong and refuse to be defeated by the challenges I face.

I've given everything I have just to stand on my own two feet. Time slips, I'm losing grip.
I have worked tirelessly to become self-sufficient, but I am starting to feel like I am losing control of my life.

The threads of my contentment have come unwound. I won't give this up.
My feelings of happiness and satisfaction have come undone, but I am determined not to give up on my quest for personal fulfillment.

Constricted by predetermined paths. I don't know how much longer I can last.
I feel trapped by expectations that were set for me before I had a chance to make my own choices, and I am unsure if I can continue living this way.

With this weight on my back, I'm feeling weighed down by life. I'm feeling weighted down by time. I'm feeling weighted down by choices made that were never mine.
The responsibilities and burdens of life are overwhelming me, causing me to feel like time is slipping away and like I never had the chance to make choices for myself.

I know there has to be more to life. This complacency can't be the end of me.
I believe that there is more to life than just going through the motions, and I refuse to be controlled by complacency.

I need to change these ways that led me to my grave. I've been searching for the answers now I know what's right for me.
I recognize that the way I have been living is not sustainable, and I have been seeking a new path that aligns with my true self and values.

I need to manufacture the ability to survive, to understand the sacrifice. This is life, this is the destiny that has been laid out for me.
I must work to develop the skills and strength to navigate the challenges of life and recognize that sacrifice is an inherent part of the human experience.

I think I'm sinking, I'm losing my ground. I'm slowly slipping, I'm Weighted down. This is life, this is my destiny, this is right, This is right for me.
I feel like I am losing my footing and struggling to stay afloat, but I have faith that this path is the right one for me, despite the difficulties that come with it.
