A WEIGHT YOU CAN'T SEE

They took a ride on the troublesome express
Fell for the thrills now they wake up depressed
I turned out alright, went the long way around
The shortcut people we bury in the ground

Hold back my vinegar stay on track
A monster in me passed down from my dad
Not more than I can handle I tell myself
Keep that poison locked up on a shelf

Everybody's got something
A weight you can't see
Everybody's got something
Even you and me

I want to move forward, but keep looking behind
My forehead says I've got something on my mind
Relearn the good while forgetting the worst
I won't be the last and I sure ain't the first

Seeing reality gaslight me
The art of choosing who we want to be
Let my honey flow but watch for the stingers
Convince myself I ain't been through the wringer

Everybody's got something
A weight you can't see
Everybody's got something
Even you and me

I wanna know the sweetness of doing nothing
I wanna put this burden down
I wanna know the sweetness of doing nothing
I wanna put this burden down

Everybody's got something
A weight you can't see
Everybody's got something
Even you and me

I've never had shirtless confidence
And not so good with compliments
Too much time on money spent out
And not enough focus on now

I may have outgrown the age of entitlement
But I'm still down for occasional excitement
Undercover hangovers are out of season
I have my foot on the brake for a reason

Everybody's got something
A weight you can't see
Everybody's got something
Even you and me
