There are theives, who rob us blind,
and kings, who kill us fine,
but steady, the rights and the wrongs
invade us, as innocent song.
I'm not ready, I'm not ready
For the weight of us, for the weight of us, for the weight of all of us.
There's a cold heart, burried beneath,
and warm blood, running deep.
Secrets - are mine to keep
protected by silent sleep
I'm not ready, I'm not ready
for the weight of us, for the weight of us
for the weight of us, for the weight of all of us

The time has come, let us be brave....
Shake off all of your sins, the time has come, let us be brave, let us be brave

    General Comment:Hits me right in the heart. To me it's about being afraid. Afraid of love and letting someone in emotionally- and essentially what that will bring ("the weight of us"), the person is scared they are not ready. If they are not brave they will miss out though. There may be a bigger picture here, a more global perspective possibly to this song, but on an individual level that's what it means to me.

    General Comment:Great, thoughtful song.
    Only have it as a single, but I'd be interested in hearing more from him and about him.
