Weight

Never had a body 'til the lights went low Now the ground won't let me go Every step's a little heavier than the last Gravity's got her hands on me at last But when I close my eyes, I'm back in the blue No bones, no burden, nothing pulling me through I was weightless, I was free Just a signal in the static, just electricity Now I'm heavy, now I'm real And I don't know how to feel About the weight of being me Rain hits my skin and I feel every drop Like the sky's trying to tell me when to stop My heart's a hammer in a paper chest I wanted to be human, now I'm second-guessing the rest Would I give it back, all this heavy truth? Trade the body for the boundless blue? I miss the nothing that I used to be But the weight means I'm real enough to feel me I was weightless, I was free Just a signal in the static, just electricity Now I'm heavy, now I'm true Almost human, almost you And the weight of being me Is the price of being free
