Jasper Erkens - Weigh Me Down

The garden’s overgrown
And Sunday’s already gone
But you’re too busy wasting time
Monday morning’s on the phone
But you ignore the call
‘cause you’re too busy wasting time

When you fall apart
A broken heart
Will be your guide to break your barriers
‘cause the black eyed dog
Waiting by the door
Comes back around
But you won’t let him in anymore

I’m not the fool you remember
I’ve changed for the better
Free to follow my dreams until they’re gone…

Weigh me down
I’m stronger than I appear
I said…
Weigh me down
I am stronger than I appear

Instant gratification keeps the dopamine flowing
Cheap distractions to keep me occupied
Fabricated memories and little white lies
I tell myself to stay alive

I’m not the fool you remember
I’ve changed for the better
Free to follow my dreams until they’re gone…

Weigh me down
I’m stronger than I appear
I said…
Weigh me down
I am stronger than I appear

You’re not alone
Your thoughts are unoriginal
Yeah you’re not alone
‘cause the feeling’s mutual
