Evershade - Weight Of The World (Why Even Bother)

from The Dust Car Dash - Charity Grand Prix by Dustcar Racing Syndicate

/

lyrics

Another night of staying in and hiding under the covers.
And all my friends are waiting on me while I’m thinking it over (over again).
but stepping out into a sea of eyes that judge at the sight
I’ll just stay in my cottage again, just like every night. (every night.)

They say to come along, but they could be wrong.
I’m terrified.
I really wanna go, but already know
what happens then.

It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world rest’ on my shoulders, cause it makes me feel older and colder.
Weight of the world, and I feel like a goner, and I wish I was stronger.
Cause you know that I see you, and I wish I could be you
And cut out the parts of me being shy.
It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world, so why even bother going out?

Go out and take a chance. Don’t worry/care (a)bout what others are thinking.
Those fears will only be a burden and leave you in them sinking (sinking again).

The voice in my head conflicting with my heart.
please tell me the answer.
Do I put up a front and be there just for my friends?
I’ll be kind, and will find peace of mind

They say to come along and that I belong.
But I’m terrified.
I really wanna go, but already know
what happens then/next.

It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world rest’ on my shoulders, cause it makes me feel older and colder.
Weight of the world, and I feel like a goner, and I wish I was stronger.
Cause you know that I see you, and I wish I could be you
And frankly I feel it all of the time.
It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world, so why even bother going out?

C’mon, let’s get it. Light up the world tonight.
Oh, let’s get it. Light up the world tonight.
(Why even bother.) (They'll laugh at me.) (Voice in my head.) (Every night.) (I can't go out.) (Just be myself.)
Ok, fine!

It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world rest’ on my shoulders, cause it makes me feel older and colder.
Weight of the world, and I seem like a goner, but I’m getting stronger.
Cause you know that I see you, and I wish I could be you,
But I’m still proud of the way that I am.
It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world, but why even bother hiding in?

Why even bother.
