lyrics

Falling like a boxer
Who’s been asked to take a dive
Maybe this time when I hit the ground
I’ll finally step aside
It’s a crooked bone, a bruised ego
It’s a missing exit sign

In a walk out bout
For a thinning crowd
Put your head down kid
You’re not paid to win
You’re just trying to stay alive

And it’s a hard burden to shoulder
It’s been a heavy weight

And I can’t hold on any longer
I wish that I was stronger
But I’m breaking
Breaking underneath this heavy weight

It’s been a heavy, heavy weight
It’s been a heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy

Tedious, this business
Trading violent swings
The round bell rings
It’s a stay of execution, love
It’s a brief reprieve

Collapsing in the corner
Call the cut man quick, so I can see

Life keep hitting like a sucker punch
‘Til they draw some blood
‘Til there’s damage done
‘Til you fall down on your knees

How am I supposed to beg for mercy
When I can barely breathe

It’s not a fair fight any longer
There’s no rules, no code of conduct
Look how low these high hopes brought us
Down to the sweat and spit and sawdust

I can’t go the distance
No one's listening
We should call this thing

It used to be a rush
Now it’s just crushing heavy weight

It’s been a heavy, heavy weight
(I’ll take the dive)

It’s been a heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy weight
