[Verse 1]
I wake up heavy
Like I slept in a stone
Bills in the hallway
Heat in my bones
Smile for the mirrors
Swallow the strain
Nobody taught me
How to name the pain
Paycheck to pressure
Bread on the line
Hands got a tremor
But I call it fine
Back full of weather
Mind in a cage
I keep it together
By splitting the rage
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who saves him
When he stands still
Tell me who holds up
A heart made of steel
[Chorus]
Heavy world on me
Heavy world on me
I keep walking, I keep walking
Heavy world on me
[Verse 2]
Dad had a stare
Like a locked front gate
Never said sorry
Never said wait
Learned from his silence
Learned from his bruise
Men get the message
We don’t get to lose
So I take the hit
And I take the blame
Carry the household
Carry my name
Loud in the daylight
Dead in the night
Pour out my spirit
And call it a life
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who saves him
When he stands still
Tell me who holds up
A heart made of steel
[Chorus]
Heavy world on me
Heavy world on me
I keep walking, I keep walking
Heavy world on me
[Bridge]
If I bend, I don’t break
I just learn the shape
If I fall, let me fall
On something that stays
One hand for the falling
One hand for the fight
I need a reason
To make it through tonight
[Chorus]
Heavy world on me
Heavy world on me
I keep walking, I keep walking
Heavy world on me
