Deadweight

I hoped that you would change
I said it every day
And I wonder if you ever really thought the same
But you tightened your grip
And threw away the key
But I can't swim from the bottom with an ankle chain

Light as an anchor
Weighing heavy on my mind, all your anger
I go numb to the feeling
It's all so familiar
While you watch me bleeding
I've got to see clearer

You can try to take me down
And drag me underground
I won't listen to another fucking roundabout
No, it's not hard to say
I'll watch you suffocate
You can fall onto your knees and pull your own deadweight
Go

Defying gravity for inhumanity
And your burden on my back is such depravity
But you can't help yourself
Because you know you're weak
I'll spit it right back in your face because you've earned your keep

You can try to take me down
And drag me underground
I won't listen to another fucking roundabout
No, it's not hard to say
I'll watch you suffocate
You can fall onto your knees and pull your own deadweight

You have lost your power and authority
Reaping all that you have sewn for your own tradgedy
Now that I finally see that you're the enemy
The only weight I'll pull is your cold dead body
Yeah
Cold dead body

You can try to take me down
And drag me underground
I won't listen to another fucking roundabout
No, it's not hard to say
I'll watch you suffocate
You can fall onto your knees and pull your own deadweight
Go
