lyrics

Weighted Down

Maybe it’s being in that grocery line
with these food insecurities of mine
worried that before too long, we may not get enough;
maybe me feeling the times in play
where we’re getting pushed out of the way
and nobody notices; hey, the times are getting tough.
Perhaps it’s knowing deep inside
I’m here just along for the ride
and nothing I do or say will make a difference with a smile or frown,
maybe it’s just me that’s askew
or maybe this is happening to you;
a hopeless feeling of being lost and weighted down.

Maybe it’s another’s need to be met
and the unwanted obligations I get
thrust upon me, whether I like it or not.
Perhaps it’s the fact that before I’ve begun
another job needs to be done
and the never-ended commitment taxing all I’ve got.
Maybe it’s finding out in the end
that they’re really not my friend
and I’m being used till their real pals get back in town,
either way, it taxes my brain
and it’s more than too much of a strain
to keep me troubled, on edge, and wearily weighted down.

Maybe it’s this virus squeeze
and all the vague uncertainties
what with all the bad news still coming round every day;
maybe it’s me feeling so ill-at-ease
with the economy in such a squeeze
looking like we may never recover from the dire change.
Perhaps it’s the protests in the street
because of the bad cop on the beat
or the country being led astray by some foolhardy clown;
maybe it’s just me that’s feeling this blue
or maybe you’re feeling this way too;
feeling apprehension and heavily weighted down.
