I see the world with open eyes Each truth a cut each lie a sigh The weight of knowing clouds my view No fairy tale just shades of blue [Verse 2] The stars don't shine to guide my way They're just the light of yesterday The fleeting spark of love burns thin A fragile fire blown by the wind [Chorus] Oh the weight of knowing pulls me down No crown of joy no shining town Just fleeting glimpses of what could be A lonely truth that sets me free [Verse 3] Happiness slips through my hands Like grains of time like shifting sands Moments come then fade away A ghost of joy that cannot stay [Bridge] I hear the silence in the crowd A quiet scream beneath the loud I stand apart yet feel the ties A lonely heart beneath the skies [Chorus] Oh the weight of knowing..
