Carry your Weight
Bear Quartet · 89 [2009]
I'm home now you are not
Human lights
Blot out
Star light
Last night I woke up
A door opened and closed shut
I will be
Erased
From memory
I love you, I love you, I love you
I'll stick to that
Everything, everything, everything, everything else
I can abandon
Wherever you are
Carry the weight of your life
