Despised Icon – Dead Weight lyrics

Pulling you down, always pulling you down
Dead weight
Let me sink into the abyss
Swim back up to the surface
Pulling you down
Dead weight
I belong in the depths
Let me go and catch your breath
The guilt is killing me
Farewell, I must set you free
Pulling you down, always pulling you down
Dead weight

Tried to resist your charms
Trust me, I fought the urge
Never meant any harm
The time has come to purge
I will not let you drown
Pulling you down, always pulling you down
Dead weight

Pushed you back and shut you out
A sacrificial lamb, run and save yourself
Goddamn
It was for the best, turn another page
Lay me down to rest, bury all that rage (toxic)
Six feet in the dirt, one hand reaching up
Dig me up, witness my rebirth
I will face the odds on my own

I'm on my own
Passive aggressive
Under construction, I am
I must shed all this weight
It's my last stand
There's no room for you, no more time for us
Grieving day and night, keep your distance
There's no room for you, no more time for us
Back to being strangers

Pulling you down, always pulling you down
Dead weight
I'm begging you, please just let me sink into the abyss
Swim back up to the surface
Pulling you down
Dead weight
I belong in the depths
Let me go and catch your breath
The guilt is killing me
Farewell, I must set you free
Pulling you down, always pulling you down
Dead weight

The infection spreads through my empty shell
Dump the emotional baggage
Relieve me from my burdens
Rebuild all that is damaged
Swallowing secrets, ingesting so much pain
So much pain
