The Weight They Never Wrote

Verse 1

Concrete cracks beneath the weight

Every breath a rusted nail

They built their towers on our backs

And called the wreckage progress

Brick by brick we rot in place

The same old lie the same old face

Pre-Chorus

Nothing changes nothing moves

Nothing here but weight and wound

Chorus

Crushed down

Crushed down

Under everything they swore was solid ground

Crushed down

Crushed down

We are the weight they never wrote down

Verse 2

Cold hands gripping iron bars

Sirens swallow all the stars

The pigs patrol the dying street

Where hunger gnaws on broken teeth

We learned to hate before we learned to read

And planted anger like a seed

Pre-Chorus

Nothing changes nothing moves

Nothing left to lose but use

Chorus

Crushed down

Crushed down

Under everything they swore was solid ground

Crushed down

Crushed down

We are the weight they never wrote down

Bridge

Slow

Slow

Grinding on and on and on

Filth

Filth

Everything we build gets torn

Chorus

Crushed down

Crushed down

Under everything they swore was solid ground

Crushed down

Crushed down

We are the weight

We are the weight

We are the weight they never wrote down
