PART III / TRACK 12
THE WEIGHT
REMAINS.
Moving forward does not mean everything heavy was left behind.

02 / THE SONG
SOME STORMS MOVE INSIDE.
The Weight Remains rejects the easy idea that visible movement means invisible pain has ended.
The song lives in that contradiction: standing, talking and walking while pressure still sits beneath the breathing and waits in the bones.
They see a man still walking.
They think the storm has passed.
But some storms don’t leave.
They move inside the bones
and learn how to last.
I got up from the floor again
I put my feet back on the ground
I washed the blood from my hands
But the silence stayed around
People see me moving forward
They say I must be free
But they never feel the pressure
That still walks inside of me
Some wounds stop making noise
Some pain forgets to speak
But it sits beneath the breathing
And it waits when I grow weak
The weight remains
Even when I walk
The weight remains
Even when I talk
You see me standing
You think I’m free
But the weight remains
Inside of me
I have learned to hold my anger
Without letting it explode
I have learned to hide the shaking
In the rhythm of the road
There are rooms I still avoid now
There are names I cannot say
There are mornings when the old dark
Puts its hands back on the day
I am not the same man falling
I am not the man I was
But not every broken place
Heals just because it must
The weight remains
Even when I walk
The weight remains
Even when I talk
You see me standing
You think I’m free
But the weight remains
Inside of me
Do not call me saved too quickly
Do not dress my scars in light
There are things I still carry
That wake up with me at night
I am walking, yes, I’m walking
But each step has its own chains
You can see the man still moving
You cannot see what remains
The weight remains!
The weight remains!
After everything,
the weight remains!
The weight remains
Even when I walk
The weight remains
Even when I talk
You see me standing
You think I’m free
But the weight remains
Inside of me
One more road
One more rain
One more breath
Under the weight
I keep walking
But nothing explains
Why after all this time
The weight remains
