Joshua James - The Weight of Hate Lyrics

Oh, the weight of hate, it's a bitter sting
A messy and tangled web of broken strings
Old friends turned enemies at heart
Minds twisted and disheveled apart

In a past where memories lie
There's a tale of friends gone awry
Once we laughed, we shared our time
But then it became an uphill climb

We used to roam the streets together
A bond we thought would last forever
But time took its toll, bonds eroded away
Resentment grew stronger with each passing day

Oh, the weight of hate, it's a bitter sting
A messy and tangled web of broken strings
Enemies and friends, the line is crushed
No matter what we do, it won't be enough

Taken apart and reassembled
Reconnections aren't that simple
A bitter hate, malice, and hostility
Our hearts no longer hold hospitality

We built bridges just to watch 'em burn
Trapped on the sides with no care to return
There's hate - a poison that infects us until we die
A leech that drains us, no care for a goodbye

The weight of hate is a heavy thing to hold
Choices and actions a future foretold
Parting in each and every different way
Moving on for the rest of our days

In the tale's of a friendship's demise
We find ourselves at the path of lies
The choices we made cannot mend
They will stay with us until the end

Oh the weight of hate
The weight of hate
