2. "Carry Our Weight"

Given the chance
to do what you want
serial murder
without getting caught

But outside it's summer
you'd have to be insane
to spend it all in the dark
cutting up the parts
of the people you've slain

When all the votes are in
and the book of folks is written
they'll say, "These pictures are fake.
They've done nothing but airbrush mistakes"

And you're not alone
in ceding defeat
when everyone knows
we've outlived all the great things
and nothing we have
is worth the space it takes up
so how on Earth have you kept this pace without a crutch

We file on towards a future that's fake
and the gravity is great
but we carry our weight

Given the chance
to do what you want
relive a moment
from this moment on
but it's getting hotter
and money is cheap
all of us heroes
living like thieves

When all the votes are in
and mediocrity wins
they'll say, "These pictures are fake.
They got caught up in dreams and mistakes"

We file on towards a future that's fake
and the gravity is great
but we carry our weight
