R. Aaron Walters - Stages of Sonder Lyrics

All I see
Is a blurry crowd of life
Staring through the glass
A sitting soul, alas
I feel

All disguised
In the heaviness of life
The weight that I bear
Is far beyond the weight of the world

But my design
Is a monumental picture
Of all the best that I could make of all of what I see

What about the way I feel; the weight I feel
What about the way I see
What about the way...
What about the weight I fear
What about the way I fear the weight I know

What about the weight I feel inside my mind
Walking by while everyone is staring through their glassy eyes
I refuse to own the truth that I am in the blurry crowd
Not a monumental picture, just another moving soul, sitting on the Earth

There are endless specks on this canvas
Each that brighten and stand the test of time, but will fade
They will fade away

There are limitless grains washing in to the unknown depths and will fade.
They will fade

I will fade away

The weight of the world is nothing like the weight of the stars that paint the sky

What about the way... what about the way I feel
What about the way I see

They will fade on this canvas

Only a prick from a pin
Though the fabric of the universe
No bigger than the others
The same light bleeds through me
The same light bleeds through me

I should have known that I was just another leaf on the tree
Growing full with life
Just to fall to the ground

Overcome, I will fade
I will fade to the edge of time

With no rest, I will fade
I will fade to the edge of time

Will I wait
Will I wait
I will wait

I despise the endless abyss of pointless purpose
I won't breathe a meager breath
I disobey complacent command
And live with worth
I will be the brightest star

I despise the endless abuse of grief and anguish
I secede from meager distress
I disobey misfortune unplanned
And live on the Earth
What is my worth
I will lift the heaviest star

There is a way to cope

There has to be a way
A way to cope with the weight inside my mind
Oh will I find a key to any door
And reach the thoughts behind

All the walls are impeding the answers I need

There has to be a key
To every door I see
Alluring me to reach

I will find a way
But when will it come to me

I've been searching for miles

Broke through brick to hold it
Close enough to feel it
Take the weight of all the stars that paint my sky

I will find the key

Even a pin that breaks through the skin of the universe
Will let light bleed through
Let light bleed through

Don't you want to wake up and just find the answers on the inside
You can't walk away
Don't wait it's too late
Do you want to find the answers
You can't walk away
Don't you just want to find the answers on the inside
You can't walk away
Just wake up and you'll find the answers

Don't wait too long
You'll be the way

What about the way I feel; the weight I feel
What about the way I see
What about the way
What about the weight I fear
What about the way
What about the way I fear the weight I know

Only I can see all I see
Only I can see all I see
Only I can see

All I see
Is a blurry crowd of life
Staring through the glass
A sitting soul, alas
I feel

All disguised
In the heaviness of life
The weight that I know
Is so much like the weight of the world

My design
Is a monumental picture
Of all the best that means the world to only me

There are endless specks on this canvas
Each that light up bright on this canvas
There are endless specks on this canvas
Each that turn to grains washing into the unknown depths

They will fade
They will fade
