Heavy Is As Heavy Does

Heavy are the branches

Hanging from my fucked up family tree

And heavy was my father

A stoic man of pride and privacy

And I don't care much for wishful thinking

It's heavy as I breathe

Because I don't believe in second chances

It's heavy as I leave

As prideful as a man he was

Proud my father never was of me

I did it for survival

But I looked like the asshole anyway

You ate up all my breadcrumbs

Now I'm lost alone inside your cave

Among six billion people

I want the ones who never wanted me

I'm not one for religion

But I can't seem to ditch this imagery

And I don't care much for wishful thinking

It's heavy as I breathe

Because I don't believe in second chances

It's heavy as I leave

And I don't care much for wishful thinking

I can't breathe
