Heavy Load

Well if they told you once
Then they told you twice
It will be told a million times
And if you did it then
You'll do it again
And again until the end of time
He was a wildfire fed by his desires
It was the rain put out his light

It was the heavy load
Oh the heavy load
Yes, the heavy load that crushed him

You were a lonely kid high on oxygen
High on always being right
They let you carol on with your Santa Clause
Then they killed him, boy, he died
And now your magic's gone to some great beyond
Cause every word you've heard's a lie

It was a heavy load, oh, a heavy load
Yes, the heavy load that knocked you out
It was the heavy load, oh the heavy load
Yes, the heavy load that brought you down
C'mon!

Well you're a skeptic now
You don't talk so loud
You don't speak to quick
Or hand it out
Once an open book
Now a covered mouth
Keep it to yourself, keep it hid

But every once awhile
There's a spark ignites
That reminds you of that fire

It was the heavy load
Oh the heavy load
Yes the heavy load that brought you down
It was the heavy load
Oh the heavy load
Yes, the heavy load that knocked you out
