Weighting Songtext
von The Black Lillies

The walls of Jericho were all caved in
The road rose up like I was falling
A porcelain doll made of human skin
Scares the living shit out of me
Come mid-September it shouldn′t be bad
People always talk about a friend we had
I drove by the house, but couldn't get out
This suitcase reminds me I′m free
Words my father said to me
There is nothing there you should be leaving
I took a look around, but I never could see
I threw my eyes to the wind

Weight, weight, I am weightning again
Home, home, you are a friend that I never see
You had a funeral just for me
You knew I wouldn't have the time


I never would have said it if you never had called
All night running on the alcohol
The porch light burned for a week again
But a suitcase reminds me I'm free
Daylight dripping off a graveyard face
An empty vessel at an even pace
The sidewalk leaned into the breeze again
The mountains played with the trees

Weight, weight, I am weighing again
Home, home, you are a friend that I never see
They had a funeral just for me
You knew I wouldn′t have the time

The daylight is making me sick again
A gap in the door to let the fear in
Holes in the story about where I′ve been
The reception remains to be seen
There's a toothbrush, a photograph, a dirty shirt
My backpack reminds me that my back hurts
A stack of blank pages where I keep this dream
And a suitcase that reminds me I′m free

Weight, weight, I am weighting again
Home, home, you are a friend that I never see
You had a funeral just for me
You knew I wouldn't have the time
