Weight of stuff

There's a weight of stuff that's gone before
It seem so hard to ignore
It's true, it's true

And I find it seeping into words I speak
Am I corrupted or just plain weak
No, but it's true, it's true

Oh it's so hard to start again
So hard to make the break that's clean
It's true, it's true

I've got to learn to live with what's at stake
And wade on through those past mistakes

Crawling out from under weight of stuff
Finding myself tonight, dawn in sight
I've got dawn in my heart

Every day is a new day
Shame I don't always see it that way
It's true, it's true

When you escape of what the darkness brings
You open your eyes to the simple things
It's true, it's true

Crawling out from under weight of stuff
Finding myself tonight, dawn in sight
I've got dawn in my heart
