The weight of Desperation Not so sick that I want to die Got so lost that I no longer cry Got this disease inside you see Guess weight’s getting the better of me It’s not that I cannot try More that life’s been passing me by This is not where I wanted to be But weight’s getting the better of me I have got to find a way out Release myself from this shadow of doubt This is not how it has to be But weight’s got the better of me There has to be a new start With every ounce of passion in my heart It’s time to set me free Before weight becomes the death of me
