Gravity 07:13
I'll find my way Through the words you say I won't turn back now 'Cause gravity is the only thing That can bring me down I lost my way But for what it's worth I'll never feel the same again Now I tell myself I'll do it all my way Keeping to myself has never felt as strange As holding back I'm not the type to wait and see 'Cause I've seen it all before And I can't help wanting more Just like me you were born in the dirt Don't pretend you've fallen to Earth 'Cause I don't want to know What you think 'cause I see That I'll find my way Through the words you say I won't turn back now 'Cause gravity is the only thing That can bring me down That can bring me down I know that I don't know how far there is to go It leaves me feeling like I'm alone But when there's envy in your eyes I take it in my stride It leaves me feeling like I'm alive And I don't want to know What you think now 'Cause there's too much left to show To turn back now Just like me you were born in the dirt ('Cause I've seen it all before) Don't pretend you've fallen to earth (And I can't help wanting more) Listen to yourself Dreams kept on the shelf, growing old As they look down on you slaving away You were the one to say it: I'll never fall, I'll never crawl I'll never look back and think was this a life I lived at all Do dreams exist outside my soul? Just like me you were born in the dirt (Despite what you might think, you don't mean anything) Don't pretend you've fallen to earth (Despite what you might think, you don't mean anything) I found my way Through the words you say I won't turn back now 'Cause gravity is the only thing That can bring me down That can bring me down That can bring me down You can't bring me down Gravity is the only thing that can Bring Me Down

I heard you say you were afraid I heard you say that seasons will change And fears will fade, but you lost your way Would you go back if you knew That you would see what you've become And turn a blind eye to it all It seems so wrong to wait at the edge of the world you know To fall Fear rules us It seems so wrong To wait at the edge of the world you know To fall I'm coming back for what you stole So many days I spent And all the words I had to say When you were barely in control Treating your arms like prison walls Are they still counting down the days? Fear rules us It seems so wrong To wait at the edge of the world you know To fall Would you go back if you knew That you would see what you've become And turn a blind eye to it all It seems so wrong to wait at the edge of the world you know To fall So when you're lost I'll light the fires Light the fires But when you're gone I won't light your pyre Light your pyre Can't you see that it's cutting me up? And I've had enough Don't try shift the blame to me I'm not the one; you are Would you go back if you knew That you would see what you've become And turn a blind eye to it all It seems so wrong Cutting you off Gow Gow wicka-wicka Gow Gow

Come back to bed Tell me the story of how it all ends I'm curious to wait and see What you can make of the things that we're blind to I'm not the first to know But surely there's not an ending Where feeling so alone is All that is left that's keeping me alive Well, I've been wrong before So many times before Vacant stares holding me up Ambitions stand idle from a lack of wings Wasting away There's nothing for us We've all been dying along with our stars They're used up So now we serve the spiral that awaits us I'm not the first to go Maybe I'll be the last one to see the stars exploding And hope that one day I'll see you again Well, I've been wrong So many times before Darling they're sending me up And you'll be dead, save for the memories That keep me awake I'm limbless and alone With sensors in place of feeling Relinquished all control To serve out my days And watch the system die Well, I've been wrong So many times before Is someone there, searching for us? The data was clear from the beginning; It's all moving away from us Redshifted; come back to us We need you here; a home for humanity But you keep moving away from us They told me that hope was enough The stars are dead But harnessed vacuum energy Keeps me awake
