Is the weight of the world on my shoulders? Is the weight of the world on my shoulders? On my shoulders All alone I pierce the chain And all in all the sting remains And dying eyes consume me now The voice inside screams out loud I am focused on what I am after The key to the next open chapter Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky Long live that day that I decided to fly from the inside Every day a new deception Pick your scene and take direction And all in all I search to connect But I don't wear a mask and I have no regrets I am focused on what I am after The key to the next open chapter Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky Long live that day that I decided to fly from the inside I can't escape the pain I can't control the rage Sometimes I think that I'm gonna go insane I'm not against what's right I'm not for what's wrong I'm just making my way and I'm gone Is the weight of the world on my shoulders? Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky Long live that day that I decided to fly from the inside Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky Long live that day that I decided to fly from the inside
