Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, we carryin' this weight, man
Every step, every break, every fake hand
It's the past, it's a blast, but it holds fast
Life's a game where the chains of your mistakes last
[Verse 1]
Rollin' down the street with shadows creepin’ up behind
Mistakes like weights, chained to my state of mind
Each wrong turn, a scar burned, deep in my soul
A story untold, but the old echoes take their toll
Haunted by the times I chose the wrong path
The laughs, the aftermath, now I face the wrath
Of my own conscience, relentless, it don’t fade
Dark parade, the crusade of mistakes I've made
[Chorus]
I'm weighed down, bound by the past not forgiven
Heavy is the head with the history that’s driven
Down deep where the secrets start to sleep
I'm weighed down, but I gotta break free
[Verse 2]
Every glare in the mirror shows a figure of a man
Who ran the wrong way, played the wrong hand
Guilt trips, like whips, lash upon my back
Tracks of my missteps, fade to black
Betrayed by my own deeds, leadin' to my fall
Recall every brawl, every wrong call
But I stand tall, amidst the storm, I gotta reform
Transform the norm, from the chaos I was born
[Chorus]
I'm weighed down, bound by the past not forgiven
Heavy is the head with the history that’s driven
Down deep where the secrets start to sleep
I'm weighed down, but I gotta break free
[Verse 3]
Lost friends, dead ends, the costs of my sins
Begin to spin, within, my mind's grim din
It's a battle in the night, fight the plight, ignite the light
Right the wrongs I write in songs, strong, move on
Reclaim my name, tame the flame of shame
No blame game, aim to change, rearrange the strange
Past lessons, stressin’, now confessin'
Turnin’ pain into gain, no more guessin'
[Chorus]
I'm weighed down, bound by the past not forgiven
Heavy is the head with the history that’s driven
Down deep where the secrets start to sleep
I'm weighed down, but I gotta break free
[Bridge]
Break these chains, no remains of the past deeds
Need to breathe, achieve, plant new seeds
Rise above, show love, push and shove
The past below, let go, rise thereof
[Chorus]
I'm weighed down, bound by the past not forgiven
Heavy is the head with the history that’s driven
Down deep where the secrets start to sleep
I'm weighed down, but I gotta break free
[Outro]
So here I stand, a man reborn from strife
Past mistakes, they shaped, but won't take my life
I've learned, I've earned, the right to say
I'm free from the weight that held me, lead the way
