It Weighs on Me

How this evening madness won me
An arrow to its home
Dead to mark
A true assailant
Silently I’m stoned
Oh how this night the sadness hung me
A noose around my bones
Fighting for a breath to draw on
And desperately alone
It weighs on me
It weighs on me
It weighs on me now
Oh how this room the shadows blind me
And drape across my eyes
Windowless
No spark to find me
And no way from my mind
Oh I don’t know if I will make it out again
I’m kneeling for the shelter from a storm
With your lips please offer me an olive branch
A dear relief of sounding off alarms
It weighs on me
It weighs on me
It weighs on me now
It weighs on me
It weighs on me
It weighs on me now
How this evening madness won me
An arrow to its home
