Weight Of The Wheel

All things look the same

From the pillow on my bed

I'm stressed out, I'm far away

There's dizzy dancing in my head

It's feeling like some kind of a fight to let go

It's the weight of the wheel falling down, or so I'm told

It's feeling like some kind of a fight to outgrow

The way I fear slowing down before I'm old

Beneath the buzzing ceiling fan

I didn't run, instead I swam

Through each disaster on the news

Those payment plans I never use

It's feeling like some kind of a fight to outgrow

Sidewalk schemes and clever dreams, and though

It's easier to say than to practice what I know

It's the weight of the wheel falling down, or so I'm told

And like a long lost friend, you came

A melody calling my name

Knock it down and make it bleed

Or watch it grow tall and green

You were always the same

Predicable in all your pain

Disguised as poetry, it lands

But you're feeling loathsome, you're feeling bad

It's feeling like some kind of a fight to let go

It's the weight of the wheel falling down, or so I'm told

It's feeling like some kind of a fight to outgrow

The way I fear slowing down before I'm old
