Story Behind The Song
The Weight of Light looks at the world around and asks the listener to consider their role in the bigger picture. Its a warning against overconsumption and skewed perspectives in a world that hangs in fragile balance. The song specifically targets the hipocrisy and doublespeak broadcasted loudly and proudly by the current administration and its followers.

Lyrics
Drop the shutters
Lift the weight of light
So heavy on your eyes
Copper kettle cries
The wind outside
Unhappy with the ride
In a world seldom heard in stereo
In a box, left unmarked, returned to sender
Lingering on the ledge you're led to
Look around and tell me why I shouldn't push you off
Hello America!
The TV says
Welcome to your life
Elbows on the edge of the world... for now
Watch that knife
You'll cut yourself
In a world, seldom viewed, in true color
In a box, left unlocked, returned to sender
Lingering on the ledge you're led to
Look around and tell me why I shouldn't push you off
