The Weight of the World

Each day I say, "Today won't be like yesterday" But it stays this way, today and every day I pray that today will feel a different way But it stays this way The weight of the world has fallen And the rubble is at my feet The voice of a girl is callin' I can hear but she's buried so deep All my truths are broken Their fragments of love and hate The words that remain are a token Of honesty that came too late Here in the midst of madness Washed up by the tides of war Tried to resist this sadness But the pressure is hard to endure Yet we begin again to play our games And everyone's innocent, just victims of change Wearing a mask of freedom And hiding behind a smile Playing the role of a leader You're pretending for just a while Everything seems an illusion Echoing around my brain Trapped in a vast seclusion Where the images fall like rain And we begin again to play our games And everyone's innocent, just victims of change Living in sin again with no one to blame And everyone's innocent, just victims of change Each day I say that, "Today won't be like yesterday" But it stays this way today and every day I pray that today will feel a different way But it stays this way Oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah
