The Weight of Light (Lyrics in description)

Описание: The weight of light - Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I walk the dusty path where the ancient rivers dry
Reading secrets written in the shifting desert sky
While they gaze at the surface, I am diving in the deep
Watching all the promises that no one meant to keep
I pick up all the slack from the hands that let it fall
Building up the mortar in a crumbling city wall
But the more I try to mend, the more they turn away
Fearing every shadow that my lantern might betray

[Chorus]
Oh, it is a heavy crown, this mind of silver glass
Watching all the seasons and the empty shadows pass
To see through every mask and to know the hidden lie
To be the only bird who knows the limits of the sky
They call it a curse, I call it the truth
A lonely kind of wisdom in the fountain of my youth

[Verse 2]
I offer them the key but they tremble at the door
Intimidated by the things they never knew before
I correct the crooked line and I show a better way
But they prefer the darkness to the burning light of day
Their brains begin to ache at the depth of what I find
So they punish me for having such a complicated mind
I understand their fear because I see within their souls
While I am left to suffer in the center of their roles

Misplaced in time, a traveler from a distant shore
Born into a world that doesn't want to know no more
If I lived a thousand years ago, or a thousand yet to be
They would still try to silence what they cannot bear to see
I make no apologies for the strength inside my head
I will not live in silence or the words I haven't said

[Chorus]
Oh, it is a heavy crown, this mind of silver glass
Watching all the seasons and the empty shadows pass
To see through every mask and to know the hidden lie
To be the only bird who knows the limits of the sky
They call it a curse, I call it the truth
A lonely kind of wisdom in the fountain of my youth

[Outro]
I need to be free, away from the judging eyes
To float above the ignorance and all the hollow cries
Unappreciated beauty in a world that’s turned to stone
A brilliant, burning fire sitting on a silent throne
My gift is my burden, my mind is my home
Forever a stranger, wherever I roam.
