Weight of the World

General Information

Written by: A. Lee, T. Balsamo

The Open Door: Track 3

Described as a song about Amy's "plea for perspective from the expectation of young fans" by Evanescence.com.

The guitars take off whilst Amy’s voice gets lost between sampled mumbling and a guitar riff by Balsamo. The vocals get more and more synthetic whilst the guitars get mixed with an electronic supplement. A track that is very easily distinguished from Evanescence’s repertoire.

Lyrics

Feels like the weight of the world
like God in heaven gave me a turn
don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you
still in the dark, can you fix me?

freefall, freefall, all through life

If you love me, then let go of me
I wont be held down by who I used to be
she's nothing to me

Feels like the weight of the world
like all my screaming has gone unheard
and oh I know you don't believe in me
safe in the dark, how can you see?

freefall, freefall, all through life

If you love me, then let go of me
I wont be held down by who I used to be

If you love me, then let go of me
I wont be held down by who I was

If you love me, then let go of me
I wont be held down by who I used to be
