Atlas

Lyrics for Atlas

Silence pours down like a curtain Pools around your shoulders Wear it like a shroud Then buckle, bend when no one's watchin' Momentary weakness All that you're allowed, mm, mm Oh, you were once a river risin' Everythin' was weightless Driftwood in your flow And now you've wound up in the ocean Caught up in a current Sinkin' like a stone You were not made to give without takin' Don't be afraid to say that your back is breakin' You don't have to do this on your own Oh, Atlas, lay down your burden The weight of your love, you've taken enough, just let it all fall Oh, Atlas, who's there to hold you? Alone in the darkness, standin' in silence, you carry it all Say you're tired and let me take you home Oh, you can't fix all that's been broken Some wounds just stay open Some hearts always drift And though we name the constellations Stars will sometimes fall and They're not ours to lift You were not made to spend your days kneelin' It's time to stand and say what I know you're feelin' Breathe in, scream it now Oh, Atlas, lay down your burden The weight of your love, you've taken enough, just let it all fall Oh, Atlas, who's there to hold you? Alone in the darkness, standin' in silence, you carry it all Oh, you need more than shadows Oh, you don't have to play the hero Drop your ego Say you're tired and let me take you home, mm, oh, oh
