Cat Empire - Shoulders lyrics

I saw you walking up the wall Like the exorcist When you saw me there you called Can you spare a fifth? I used to know you when you were small How's it come to this? How does a happy, bright boy Fall into the rift? And you carry weight on your shoulders Won't you see that you are not inside yourself You put that evil back inside yourself I saw your Ma the other day She asked me how you were Say, 'one day you you'll be fine But now you do it worse' She told as she cried that 'No one breaks the curse' As I looked into her eyes My heart it nearly burst And you carry weight on your shoulders Won't you see that you are not inside yourself You put that evil back inside yourself And what if you breathe and see you're good And what if you reach out, knock on wood I'm begging you please, won't you be understood And won't you release, I believe you could And if you ever wanna dream I'll help you see the sky And if you ever wanna scream About some reason why And if you ever break the seam That cuts through your disguise I love you when you're seen And do my best to try To carry weight off your shoulders Won't you see that you are not here by yourself Please don't put that evil back inside yourself And what if you breathe and see you're good And what if you reach out, knock on wood I'm begging you please, won't you be understood And won't you release, I believe you could And what if you breathe and see you're good And what if you reach out, knock on wood I'm begging you please, won't you be understood And won't you release, I believe you could
