So Heavy (Acoustic)

Am I a fool?
Is my hope in vain?
I planted the seed of a shading tree
But I'm standing in the rain

Am I a fool?
How can it be?
I keep picking the scab of an old wound
Just to watch it bleed

And it's so heavy
Too heavy to hold

I watch my cup
Fill up with doubt
I keep drinking it up
You keep pouring it out

You push so hard
That I push back
Before I've even turned around
Your sights are set, aimed and ready to attack

And it's so heavy
Too heavy to hold

It's so heavy
Too heavy to hold

I can't catch up
There's not enough time
We are so disconnected, discontented
Disappointed 'cause we lack connection
With each other and with the earth
Ignorantly thinking this is how it works
Our lives have no meaning but to feed the machine
Repelling sadness and pain with the swipe of a screen
People closing their minds, sewing their third eye shut
Measuring wealth with money and things they have not

And it's just so heavy
Too heavy to hold

It's just so heavy
Too heavy to hold

Am I a fool?
Is my hope in vain?
