Shoulder The Weight

from Take Heart, It's Almost Over by Mark McCabe

/

lyrics

Swing your legs back over the ledge it isn’t your time yet
I can see it in your eyes and the way they mirror mine
But I’ve been talking around the block
Drawing lines and taking stock of what I’ve got
All the battles that I’ve fought and I’m getting tired

Of wondering when we’ll stop and drag ourselves back from the drop
To start again.

Some days it seems like we’re too late
That surely man much feel the weight of selfish acts
As the whole world starts to crack
Call it fate or just bad luck,
A lack of planning from above it’s us to blame
You can give it any name that helps you to sleep

To shut your eyes again and pin it all on other men.
It’s never you.

But as we stare down from this ledge
Every choice we have made stares back up
Every promise never kept
Every badly thought out cover up
Harsh words hover in the air
In the taste of the fear on our tongues
Truth hidden by despair.
There’s no glory in disrepair.
There’s no glory in disrepair
