[Verse 1: Danny Case]
I don't like my mind right now
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down
I want to let go, but there's comfort in the panic
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can't escape the gravity

[Chorus: Danny Case]
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?

[Verse 2: Matt Brandyberry]
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Brandyberry and Danny Case]
It's like a face that I hold inside
Face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face that watches everytime I lie
Face that laughs everytime I fall
It watches everything
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is here in me
Right beneath my skin

[Chorus: Danny Case]
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?

[Bridge: Danny Case]
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
[Chorus: Danny Case]
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?

[Outro: Matt Brandyberry and Danny Case]
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back (Why is everything so heavy?)
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head (Holding on)
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within (Why is everything so heavy?)
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
