Weigh Off

Welcome aboard, please watch your head
Take a seat wherever you'd like
No judgment here, at this midnight hour
Your worries can't be seen in the night
Leave space for your neighbors, as you'd like for yourself
All these thoughts leave little room to spare
Did you feel as if you were alone
We've all felt heavier than air

If we cling to our burdens, we'll never take flight
And remain here as we always were
The past is never as heavy as it seems
And its lessons keep us upright in turn

The boilers have built up a head of steam
And the captain's given us a go
It's up to you what we do now
Do we stay or find where the winds blow
Whatever happened, before tonight
It's you who arrived on your own
A journey's first steps are often the bravest
And exact the greatest toll

If we cling to our burdens, we'll never take flight
And remain here as we always were
The past is never as heavy as it seems
And its lessons keep us upright in turn

Wherever we go... it's time to get started
New lands below... all of them uncharted
Feel the engines rumble beneath your feet
Snatch victory from the cloud of defeat
It's all just ballast
Strike your balance

If we cling to our burdens, we'll never take flight
And remain here as we always were
The past is never as heavy as it seems
And its lessons keep us upright in turn
