Senses Fail - Carry The Weight Lyrics

I HOPE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE, TO HIDE A PIECE OF YOURSELF INSIDE, TO BE SO FUCKING ASHAMED YOU'D RATHER KILL YOURSELF THAN BE ALIVE

I WANT TO BE ALIVE

One of my all time favorite, it's just so real open and honest. And I think it pulls all of that out of me as well. Buddy your a beast

I dont think Buddy and Senses Fail fully understand the impact this song has on his fans. This is a LITERAL life saver. Pure, raw emotion and feeling....and a feeling a lot of us can relate to. And if you cant relate, he painted an amazing picture and gave a window to the feeling of depression and mental illness. Absolutely love this.

Senses Fail is life.

i wasnt expecting to cry....but here i am

I guess finding this now is better than never. I'm so happy to find out they still make music...especially this type of aggressive, emotional music that shows how good a song writer buddy still is. Always evolving with every album and I appreciate the hell out of this band.

goosebumps

Buddy is a hero in how he can write such meaningful lyrics regarding the sensitive topic of alcoholism. Him and his boys' music is my escape, in hopes that maybe one day I can also prevail.

Let it Enfold You:
This mask of glass is what I choose to wear
So I won't ever have the need to bear
The total truth to anyone but me

Carry the Weight:
I was scared enough to lie
And say that I'm ok
When inside I was dying
So confused, so alone, so afraid

why do people hate god? like idk much about him, but he seems to be a nice.

Jacob Lopez Because god is a crutch. When you carry a cross, you carry a stone.

awesome show in eindhoven; love senses fail

love this band, their songs have helped me through so much

love this band, their songs have helped me through so much

love this band so much, their songs have helped me through so much

love this band so much, their songs have helped me through do much

I feel like hitting myself in the head.. this song makes you want to hit yourself in the head.. senses fail sucks.. they were good.. a long time ago

So much talent and inspiration in one man

Buddy is are best buddy

Buddy are best buddy and what happened to all the old band members because it's hard to research about them

these songs mean so much to me

These lyrics are so hardcore, no matter the sound or the genre of the song. They're simple but they punch you right in the stomach!

Simone Gigliotti One of them went to school that's all I know

This gave me chills

awesome

My favorite Senses Fail album, incredible songs, innovative piece.

The lyrics have become a lot more hollow as the albums progress. Still my favorite band from high school, but gosh, I want the old SF back.

renacer was 10 times better'

Suscriptor 100,000 :)
I love Senses Fail

seth brought me here <3

I am also here for him❤✌

@tanyapaotutos1 yay, his music taste is awesome. <3

I personally fucking dig this. Love the whole album I dont get how any senses fan could not appreciate this. Simply beautiful

They killed it at warped this year

I love this band they saved my life :')

Quickly becoming one of my favorite Senses Fail songs.

My favorite song on the album. Buddy Nilsen has done it again with another bad ass album.

How does buddy write such perfect lyrics

good song, one of the few on the new record the feel vintage senses fail

already own the full record and i have to say, this is some of the best stuff they've ever put out, ever. maybe even tops let it enfold you. just have to wait till June 30th to see what everyone else thinks.

I just can't get into this new style. Sorry guys. Love LIEY, SS and LINAWR though.

Wounds and this are my favorite so far

Respect!
I've been a Senses Fail fan my entire life. This means so much to me, growing up with your music!  I cannot wait to play this in my car with all the windows down

dope, this ands wounds i think are the best, the others are okay.. but not really that great though

Quite like this

Whoa! Like, seriously!!! Buddy and the band are obviously talented, but this album along with Renacer is seriously next level. 200 years from now this band is going to be the modern day Pablo Picasso of music.

I love this. I'm so excited for this album I know it's going to be great.

I might preorder the album now thanks to this song

Damn during the outro, i was chopping an onion and my eyes began to cry...

I'm digging it

Musically it's pretty good, but holy crap this is pretty knuckleheaded in terms of lyrics. It just seems really dully straightforward and forced in to the melody at times.

@Jim Woodley What I mean by that is just that he's trying to cram too many words in to each line, so it seems like he's saying too much at times because he's trying to fit it all in when it really doesn't work.

Really? I love the lyrics.. I think they fit rhythmically & I love the ambience. This song is honestly the most similar to the previous styles of SF; particularly the singing.

@VashD15 Ah yeah I see what you mean, but the more I listen to the album the less I have to complain about it, it is so good! its just some of those high notes i'm worried he wont be able to pull off live.

I respect your right to your opinion, but I think the lyrics are straight-forward for a reason. This whole album is one with heart that is looking to help heal. There are plenty of songs on this one and Renacer that are both positive and full of metaphorical lyrics. I think the "knuckleheaded" lyrics are that way to complement what it is they're saying, which is in no uncertain terms about loving and accepting yourself. It doesn't have to be complex to be beautiful and to mean something to many other people who might be struggling with self-loathing.

I partially agree with this. I think they were beautiful in terms of lyrics during their "Still Searching" or "Let It Enfold You" days. I genuinely believe that they created some of the most beautiful songs and intertwined lyrics during this period.

Best album of this summer! And, I think, of this year!

Out of all the 4 songs i've heard from this album, this is my favorite. Love the ambient/reverb interlude. Hope they make a music video for this

@ReprogrammedToHate So far my favorite is Courage of an Open Heart

I can't get enough!

That's it.

fucking perfect!
Ready to pull the thorns from my heart!!

I love this band. The lyrics get better and more inspirational with every album

Got to love Buddy for finally becoming his full potential and finally exploring musically the way he's always wanted. Three cheers for positive hardcore!

@PubeStache hardcore is a genre

@***** how would making this type of music be selling out? If anything, going from this type of music to the type of music they used to make would be more of selling out.

+HaileyLang1 Sounds like Post-Hardcore/Emo to me.

+Christian Barker listen to the rest of the album. especially the courage of an open heart. not post-hardcore. this song btw is.

Hell yea!!!

This is like one of the best songs senses fail has ever written. I just wanna hug buddy for releasing all of his anger and honesty in these songs

I agree. I love this entire album, but this song especially, I play it over and over...

Samuel Lupercio dude same!! I just wanna hug him and say thank you for letting these fellings and thoughts and fears out. So we dont feel so alone. Buddy has been like a musical pillar for me. And helping me try to love with the courage of an open heart.

Honestly...a hug from you would probably solve all buddy's problems....jk it wouldn't mean shit

Love the new song!

Holy fuck I got chills!

Such an uplifting song. I'm so proud of the direction Senses Fail has gone. Keep up the good work guys :')

fucking love it!! love buddys evolved writing,positive lyrics

i mostly meant the message and direction has evolved not necessarily the lyrics but the music in general 

its all good :) hell of a album tho
