Heavy as Lead

Leyla McCalla

[Verse 1]
This old house might swallow us whole
Begins with our family and soon it comes 'round to our soul
We’re trying to grab 'hold of what we can't control
Always living here
On the edge

[Verse 2]
And that little heart, so full and complete
Doesn’t worry 'bout making ends meet
As the dust is settling on every street
I am filling
Up with dread

[Chorus]
That's got me feeling, feeling
Heavy as lead

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Don't tell me everything's gonna be alright
Don't tell me everything's gonna be alright

[Verse 3]
And I don't mean to be so unkind
I’ve just got too much weighing in on my mind
I’m always afraid I'm falling behind
Always reaching
To get ahead

[Outro]
And that’s got me feeling, feeling
Heavy as lead, lead, lead, lead
Heavy as lead, lead, lead, lead
Heavy as lead, lead, lead, lead
Heavy as lead
