Shoulders Lyrics

I saw you walking up the wall
Like the exorcist
When you saw me, then you called
Can you spare a fifth?
I used to know you when you're small
How's it come to this?
Just a happy bright boy
Fall into the rift

(CHORUS)
You carry weight on your shoulders
Won't you see that you are not inside yourself?
You put that evil back inside yourself

I saw your ma the other day
She asked me how you were
I said one day you'll be fine
But now you're doing worse
She told me how she cried
But no one breaks a curse
I looked into her eyes
My heart it nearly burst

(CHORUS)
You carry weight on your shoulders
Won't you see that you are not inside yourself?
You put that evil back inside yourself

And what if you breath and see all good?
And what if you reach out knock on wood?
I'm begging you please won't you be understood?
And won't you release? I believe you could

And if you ever wanna dream
I'll help you see the sky
And if you ever wanna scream
about some reason why
And if you ever break the scene
that cuts through your disguise
I love you when you see
And do my best to try

(Chorus)
To carry weight off your shoulders
Won't you see that you are not here by yourself?
Please don't put that evil back inside yourself

And what if you breath and see all good?
And what if you reach out knock on wood?
I'm begging you please won't you be understood?
And won't you release? I believe you could
