Searching the sky for a light, for a light
The  past shapes us with pity and spite
And  love is a foreigner to her heart, to her heart
A daylight traveler in a world that's only dark

She holds the universe together
The  universe with her arms
Calling  out to God, "Don't take forever
My hands are sore, and they are waiting for me
Down  the hall"

With this weight (this weight)
With this weight (this weight)
With this weight, I will fall
(x2) 

Do or die, these are the stories in my life
Fast changes and the stones that stand in line
And love is an actress from the old cinema reels
A greyscale picture that she'll never feel

'Cause she holds the universe together
The universe with her arms
Calling out to God, "Don't take forever
My hands are sore, and they are waiting for me
Down the hall"
With this weight (this weight)
With this weight (this weight)
With this weight, I will fall
(x2)
