Story Behind The Song
This song was written to express what I felt everyone around me was experiencing...Disenchantment, resentment, regret, failure, etc...
I wanted to write a hopeful song...one that would strike a chord in the young adults of this day and age
Song Description
It is an anthem of resolution. It is about being resolved in who you are and who you have become, and to be weightless from the regret that hold most of us down.

Lyrics
Weightless
Turn the page and put the ghosts to bed
What I said is really what I meant
Slip these burdens off my back
I'll forgive myself even if you can't
Sink your teeth in, Bite down on it
Time to let go and be reckless
Young forever, we are ageless
Your traditions are all worthless
Nothing's holy, nothing's sacred
Selfish reasons, self-agendas
See right through all these illusions
We are careless, we are weightless
Damn the dream, damn everything I want
Toss it in, and let it all burn up
Find my comfort in uncertainty
Its the only thing that always stays with me
Sink your teeth in, Bite down on it
Time to let go and be reckless
Young forever, we are ageless
Your traditions are all worthless
Nothing's holy, nothing's sacred
Selfish reasons, self-agendas
See right through all these illusions
We are careless, we are weightless
I won't have you any other way
Because there is no other way to be
What you get is what you see
This is who I am, and who I choose to be
Sink your teeth in, Bite down on it
Time to let go and be reckless
Young forever, we are ageless
Your traditions are all worthless
Nothing's holy, nothing's sacred
Selfish reasons, self-agendas
See right through all these illusions
We are careless, we are weightless
