Atlas

Every new day is the very worst day
Maybe it’s just not my year
I am to blame so I guess I can’t complain
Though I’m living a life of fear

CHORUS:
You can call me Atlas
I’m holding the world
But buckling under the weight
Now nobody is safe


The pressure is great and I’m losing faith
That I’ll balance the world much longer
But the tears I cry from my terrified eyes
Will not make me any stronger


[CHORUS]

BRIDGE:

I need to rest take this load off my chest
Not to mention the one on my back
But I dare not sleep for as soon as they leave
They plan their returning attack


[CHORUS]
