The Toll of Fame

Verse 1

Midnight shadows crawling

Just a phone call

Late nights we were stalling

Empty rooms and messy habits

Smoking alone just to cope

Broken bottles on the rug

Lies that I felt

Hollow words

I want more than this

You want everything

Heavy clouds and bitter bitter rain

Driving fast till my lungs burn

Everything was fake

No one knows me

Left my pride on the interstate

Chorus

All the weight on me

Falling down heavy

On my shoulders

It stays heavy

All the weight on me

Weight on me

Heavy

Verse 2

Passport stamped for the winter

Toronto got cold

Frost on the window

Walking through the lobby feeling nothing

Checked out early

Found a better view

Never wanted to settle for less

Needed the space

Gave you my soul and my check

You spent both

Diamond rings and dark dark dreams

Running from the cameras in the alley

Caught a flight to Paris

Missed the mark

Missing what we had back when

Chorus

All the weight on me

Falling down heavy

On my shoulders

It stays heavy

All the weight on me

Weight on me

Heavy

Bridge

Tell me why you wait

Tell me why you care

Tell me why you stay

Looking at the ceiling

Looking at the time

Looking for a feeling

Is it worth it

Was it worth the pain

Verse 3

Numbers changed since the last time

Private jets are getting loud

Six rings on the table

Used to share the struggle now I share the wealth

Looking for a real one

Hard to find a real one

Staying for the long haul

Watch the players fall

Money brings the sharks out the deep

Tired of the talk

Tired of the noise

Tired of the fame

I built this from the mud alone

Never had a hand

Never asked for mercy

Chorus

All the weight on me

Falling down heavy

On my shoulders

It stays heavy

All the weight on me

Weight on me

Heavy

Bridge 2

I gave you every single piece

Took what you wanted

Now there's nothing left but heat

Frozen hearts in a plastic world

Burnt bridges and blue flames

Watching how the seasons shift

Still standing here

Still waiting on a sign

Verse 4

Crown is getting tight on my head

Heads turn when we walk in

Champagne bubbling like the praise

Same people saying different things now

Started from a bedroom

End up in a penthouse suite

Price tag for the peace of mind

Steeper than the bills

Grind until my heart stops beating

Watch me take the lead

Keep the family fed

Keep the circle tight

Moving like a shadow in the mist

Everything I touch turns

Hard to breathe under the lights tonight
