Let Me Carry the Weight You Can't

Exhausted from screaming My throat's ripped to shreds I used to laugh at the thought of a sickness in my head And everyday your voice still haunts me And everyday I am left to believe That it all was my fault that you felt alone Your hints of depression a soft cry for help I was too busy to notice or care of how you felt I still cry at your grave and visit your mother Tell her it's okay, bring a gift for your brother Their empty eyes look through me And they're speaking like you haven't passed at all I wanted to tell you again that I miss you I water these flowers with tears from my cheeks I pick any dandelions and wipe away the dirt that hides your name Silent unspoken a bystander to this Complacent complicit I'm lost without my friend Please forgive me brother Please forgive me Out of anger I curse your name And pray to a god that I don't believe in How does the beauty of life go unnoticed A wonderful soul turned hopeless You were so afraid of failure But now the chance of succeeding is gone If I could just shake you and tell you how much you are loved You would see how your thinking is so fucking flawed Exhausted from screaming My throat's ripped to shreds I used to laugh at the thought of a sickness in my head I wanna believe you regret it Wherever you are do you regret it Let me carry the weight you can't I still cry at your grave and visit your mother Tell her it's okay, bring a gift for your brother Their empty eyes look through me And they're speaking like you haven't passed at all I wanted to tell you again that I miss you I water these flowers with tears from my cheeks I pick any dandelions and wipe away the dirt that hides your name
