Overwhelmed by the weight of the world 

the current state of the world 

It gets tough to hold my head up high 

Cracking a smile feels like a task now 

it feels so unfamiliar 

Street lamps and cross walks, a cold night 

I realise, in the constant face of negativity 

I'll strive with one thing in mind 

Make me your favourite scapegoat 

(I have myself) 

If that's what you need for self security 

It's not gonna be affecting me 

I got this one thing you can't deny 

I always have me by my side 

Overwhelmed by the weight 

of criticism and constant disbelievers 

I find their words now a fuel 

to this burning fire inside 

You only push me forward 

You could never hold me back 

Attack me with what you can 

I won't lay down, I take my stand 

I will always have by my side 

You can't deny this 

You can't deprive this
