Weight Of The World

I spent time
in the womb of a woman
Who didn't know her name

I bear the cross
of some other someone
Just to take the blame

I reek of rancid
Retribution
I got to pay my way

So don't confuse
my misconception
as any reason to stay

I'm read my rights
in a guilt ridden world
made to protect your fears

I feel the steel
like a spike in my arm
it's not all it appears

My soul my mind
My life is in my hands
and I'm a step off the pace

Got the weight of the world
on my shoulders
won't someone take my place
