Atlas

Silence pours down like a curtain

Pools around your shoulders

Wear it like a shroud

Then buckle, bend when no one's watchin'

Momentary weakness

All that you're allowed, mm, mm

Oh, you were once a river risin'

Everythin' was weightless

Driftwood in your flow

And now you've wound up in the ocean

Caught up in a current

Sinkin' like a stone

You were not made to give without takin'

Don't be afraid to say that your back is breakin'

You don't have to do this on your own

Oh, Atlas, lay down your burden

The weight of your love, you've taken enough, just let it all fall

Oh, Atlas, who's there to hold you?

Alone in the darkness, standin' in silence, you carry it all

Say you're tired and let me take you home

Oh, you can't fix all that's been broken

Some wounds just stay open

Some hearts always drift

And though we name the constellations

Stars will sometimes fall and

They're not ours to lift

You were not made to spend your days kneelin'

It's time to stand and say what I know you're feelin'

Breathe in, scream it now

Oh, Atlas, lay down your burden

The weight of your love, you've taken enough, just let it all fall

Oh, Atlas, who's there to hold you?

Alone in the darkness, standin' in silence, you carry it all

Oh, you need more than shadows

Oh, you don't have to play the hero

Drop your ego

Say you're tired and let me take you home, mm, oh, oh
