black dust in orbit cascades down like a parachute

bricks on my shoulders, this gravity hurts when you know the truth

I'm pulling my weight in gold

call me anxious, call me broke

but I can't lift this on my own

pulling my weight in gold

call me anxious, call me broke

but I can't lift this on my own

we dreamt like martyrs—

I never thought I was bold enough.

you pushed me further

and I take the blame for the both of us

I'm pulling my weight in gold

call me anxious, call me broke

but I can't lift this on my own

pulling my weight in gold

call me anxious, call me broke

but I can't lift this on my own

Oh, Universe— hold me up

you tried your best, is it ever enough when it's already dragging me down?
