Feels like the weight of the world
Like God in heaven gave me a turn
Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you
Still in the dark, can you fix me

Freefall, freefall, all through life

If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I used to be
She's nothing to me

Feels like the weight of the world
Like all my screaming has gone unheard
And oh, I know you don't believe in me
Safe in the dark, how can you see

Freefall, freefall, all through life

If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I used to be

If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I was

If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I used to be


Quote from Amy:
I live for the rock songs. With the line-up changing, I think a lot of people thought it would be more of the "My Immortal" stuff. But "My Immortal" was Ben [Moody]'s song! I was always trying to pull us in a crazier direction. Songs like "Weight of the World" and "Sweet Sacrifice" and "All That I'm Living For" are so amazing to me because of the adrenaline. Especially when we play them live.
