I saw you walking up the wall like the exorcist
When you saw me there you called can you spare a Fift?
I used to know you when you were small how's it come to this?
How does a happy bright boy fall into the rift?
You carried weight on your shoulders won't you see that
You are not inside your self, you put that evil back inside your self
I saw your Ma the other day she asked me how you were
Said 'One day you'll be fine, but now you do it worse'
She told me as she cried that 'No one breaks the curse'
As I looked into her eyes my heart it nearly burst
You carried weight on your shoulders won't you see that
You are not inside your self, you put that evil back inside your self
And what if you breathe and see you're good?
And what if you reach out, knock on wood?
I'm begging you please won't you be understood?
Won't you release I believe you could?
And if you ever want to dream I'll help you see the sky
And if ever want to scream about some reason why
And if you ever break the seam that cuts through your disguise
I'll love you when you're seen and do my best to try
You carried weight on your shoulders won't you see that
You are not inside your self, you put that evil back inside your self
And what if you breathe and see you're good?
And what if you reach out, knock on wood?
I'm begging you please won't you be understood?
Won't you release I believe you could?
