Weight of Air

Lyrics

Breathing gets harder when you realize The atmosphere is pressing down Fourteen pounds per square inch of compromise Keeping your feet upon the ground The sky is falling piece by piece Gravity becomes your friend When will this crushing weight release And let us rise up in the end? Can you feel the pressure building? Does it keep you awake at night? All this invisible weight we're yielding To the absence of the light Every step costs more than walking Every breath becomes a choice The silence underneath the talking Drowns out every hopeful voice Molecules dancing in the darkness Around the spaces where we stand Physics making us accomplices In a universe we'll never understand Can you feel the pressure building? Does it keep you awake at night? All this invisible weight we're yielding To the absence of the light? One day the pressure will be lifting When we've learned to let it go Until then we're always drifting In the undertow
