The Weight of the Straw
You were right
about me
I'm weaker
than you
And this world
Is so much bigger
Oh, than us
I won't wake up
Shut the light off
the alarm
when it's cold inside my room
Perfect plans
fell from the star
Didn't listen
to the weight-
Thanks for the coat
The spine to carry us
then we rest
try to face death
as a dove
you know the bed that you make
desert the ones
you hurt
the most
don't hold
this world
like a sleeping ghost-
See the king
loose his grace
Didn't know he was already
down
the needles eye
would not see him
camels' back
slap the the need
for the weight
of the straw-
You know
the bed that you make
Desert the ones
that you hurt
the most
Don't harm
this world
like a sleeping ghost-
about me
I'm weaker
than you
And this world
Is so much bigger
Oh, than us
I won't wake up
Shut the light off
the alarm
when it's cold inside my room
Perfect plans
fell from the star
Didn't listen
to the weight-
Thanks for the coat
The spine to carry us
then we rest
try to face death
as a dove
you know the bed that you make
desert the ones
you hurt
the most
don't hold
this world
like a sleeping ghost-
See the king
loose his grace
Didn't know he was already
down
the needles eye
would not see him
camels' back
slap the the need
for the weight
of the straw-
You know
the bed that you make
Desert the ones
that you hurt
the most
Don't harm
this world
like a sleeping ghost-
