Weight in Gold

black dust in orbit cascades down like a parachute

bricks on my shoulders, this gravity hurts when you know the truthI'm pulling my weight in gold

call me anxious, call me broke

but I can't lift this on my own

pulling my weight in gold

call me anxious, call me broke

but I can't lift this on my ownwe dreamt like martyrs—

I never thought I was bold enough.

you pushed me further

and I take the blame for the both of usI'm pulling my weight in gold

call me anxious, call me broke

but I can't lift this on my own

pulling my weight in gold

call me anxious, call me broke

but I can't lift this on my ownOh, Universe— hold me up

you tried your best, is it ever enough when it's already dragging me down?
