Lyrics to Leverage

I've carried a weight a very long time

like a black stone, a hopeless crime

Past the fields, past the towns

I've measured hills and dales

Up and down



If I rest I am sure you are there waiting

for my mind to break down

and your soul to take control



I am here, I'm not going down

I will carry on to do what I must do

To see the truth behind your whispering lies

I am not yours to take down



I covered my face in the darkest night

Changed my name and foolish hopes

You are still lingering here in every thought

Still myself and still yours



If I rest I am sure you are there waiting

for my mind to break down

and your soul to take control



I am here, I'm not going down

I will carry on to do what I must do

To see the truth behind your whispering lies

I am not yours to take down



Someday I'll turn my head around

and I'll look you straight in the eye

You are all I fear for you are all I love,

my decay.



Here, I'm not going down

I will carry on to do what I must do

To see the truth behind your whispering lies

I am not yours to take down



Here, I'm not going down

I will carry on, to do what I must do

To see the truth behind your lies

I'm not yours!
