Weight

WEIGHT Lyrics © Gayna Rose Madder

My heart is black and empty;

My head is bleak and full

If things were any darker

I’d have crossbones through my skull

My heart is overflowing;

My head is full of light;

My being is so full of air

I think I may take flight…

Why do I always have to watch

My weight?

My heart is hardly beating.

My head, freighted with care.

My body may be present,

But my spirit is elsewhere…

Why do I always have to watch

My weight?

My heart is pumping life-force,

Through my veins and to my head

So this is what it’s like to feel

Alive and not undead!
