Lead Weight

Sit down rest easy for a while
Tell me, TELL ME your problems
Make me smile, 'cause you see
I'm here for you just like the advert said
I'll ease your fears if you ease mine, if you ease my head

I don't understand what I'm doing here
or why I opened up my soul for this dissection
DOES IT PLEASE YOU?
To know my mind, to see my thoughts
My fear, my joy, my anger
AM I THAT MUCH OF A FOOL?

To think that this would have a bearing
On the way I think, the way that I feel
The way that people see me
And most of all how I see myself

But I BELIEVED in you and in the system

Do I line your purse with my tortured tears?
Feed your children with my fears?
And this path on which you walk upon my back, did I pave it?
Does my anger warm you bitter heart?
If it does, tear me apart 'cause.
I don't care

I DON'T CARE!

I'm here for you just like the advert said
I'll ease your fears if you ease mine, if you ease my head

Well take your lies and your bitter sweet truths
I don't need them anyhow, anywhere, anywhy or anyway
And all the POWER that I gave to you,
(Now with joy) I take it away

To think that this would have a bearing
On the way I THINK, the way that I FEEL
The way that people see me
And most of all how I see myself

BUT I BELIEVED IN YOU AND IN THE SYSTEM
