Justin Courtney Pierre
Shoulder The Weight
I used to feel things
Then I got older
Peeled off some layers
And now I'ma shoulder the weight of it all
Cut to the quick when my netting changed in the fall
Hemorrhaging out of her pictures that hang on her wall
Biding my time wading deeper into it all

Clearly a no-show
Yeah, distance will do that
I bet on a long shot

So now I must bolster my half of the hull
Sobering out over notions I can't quite recall
Buried the years but the feelings are starting to crawl

Biting my tongue just a little bit longer as I drown
Yeah, you really shook me down
While you're waiting for the war
I'll come knocking at your door
Yeah, you really shook me down
And I'm reeling from the sound
While you're waiting for the war
I come knocking at your door
And the sea
We're the same
You and me

Yeah I used to feel things
Then I got older
