I Wear this thing on my back
it is small now, but then it was huge
It crushed me, and pushed me to the ground
But I crawled like a lizard

I wear this thing on my back
it is small now, but then it was huge
It sucked out my spirit
But my body carried on

I wear this thing on my back
it is small now, but then it was huge
It exerted a paralysing energy
And my body was unable to move

I wear this thing on my back
it is small now, but then it was huge
It hyper-sharpened my receptors to pain
My body was whipped by the words of others

I wear this thing on my back
it is small now, but then it was huge
It carouseled temptation before my eyes
Then snatched it away

I wear this thing on my back
it is small now, but then it was huge
It morphed wings
And I was able to fly
