The Weight of Yesterday Songtext
von Empire Fall

They opened up their doors and let me in
Said "son, we don′t believe in sin"
I dove into the belly of the beast
And sat with them for many feasts

I could sense my skills improving
Looking for a higher meaning
I entered the dungeon with no map
It was a trap

After the credits roll
The good times take their toll
Guess it's the price I pay
The weight of yesterday
Too many memories
I wish I could erase
It′s ruining my today
The weight of yesterday

I came out feeling jaded and ashamed
I knew I'd never be the same


I could sense my skills improving
Looking for a higher meaning
I entered the dungeon with no map
It was a trap

After the credits roll
The good times take their toll
Guess it's the price I pay
The weight of yesterday
Too many memories
I wish I could erase
It′s ruining my today
The weight of yesterday

Lost myself
Shunned myself
Locked myself away
Lost myself
Shunned myself
Locked myself away
Lost
Locked myself away
Lost
Locked myself away


The more I′d try
To make it right
The more I'd fail
I′m gonna die if I don't turn the page

After the credits roll
The good times take their toll
Guess it′s the price I pay
The weight of yesterday
Too many memories
I wish I could erase
It's ruining my today
The weight of yesterday

It′s ruining my today
The weight of yesterday
It's ruining my today
The weight of yesterday
