Gravity

from Less Than Nothing by Joe Bailey

/

lyrics

Here comes the sun to light the eyes,
To dynamize body and mind.
Provide the rays and lead the way,
And we can kill you everyday.
We need you here with us,
This life is all we have.

Little voices cannot sing,
When we tie them up with string.
Pump the water with debris,
Choke you out and leave you be.
The world is set ablaze,
This life is we all we have.

When the sun is shining,
And the clouds are hiding,
All the tears wiped away,
Can you hear your heart arriving?
No more needless fighting,
No more nail biting,
All the anger fades away,
But it always seems to find it's way.

And in this life we pave the way,
With love and countless mistakes.
We float around but there's a gravity,
That likes to pull us down.

All the scars combining,
All the hearts aligning,
All the fears kept at bay,
Can you feel your blood refining?
No more fruitless riots,
No more awkward silence,
Glorify and liberate,
Purify and celebrate.

And in this life we pave the way,
With love and countless mistakes.
We float around but there's a gravity,
That likes to pull us down.
Yeah, there's a gravity,
That likes to drag us down.

Deep within, inside the veins there's a sanguine holiday,
Thinning the blood, thickening the mind.
It tells the brain that everyday is Christmas Day,
But Good Fridays are never far behind.

And the thorns are digging in,
And the laughter fades away.
The despair is kicking in,
And it leads us all astray.
There's a path that we must take,
But it's guarded by our fears.
There's a change that we can make,
But it's shrouded by our tears.

Home, where the hearts reside,
Preserved and modified.
Where there's peace, there's unfailing divide,
In droves.
There is beauty in the pain,
There is darkness in the sun.
There is help that we all can provide,
In droves.

Gravity, gravity pulls us down,
No matter how high we fly.
Gravity, gravity, drags us down,
No matter how hard we try, no matter how hard we fight.

And the thorns are digging in,
And the laughter fades away.
The despair is kicking in,
And it leads us all astray.
There's a path that we must take,
But it's guarded by our fears.
There's a change that we can make,
But it's shrouded by our tears.

Ample disorders, internal shock absorbers,
Socks to the knee, recut the key,
And snip the rounded corners.
The days are getting shorter,
The world is getting warmer,
Entangled fingers cover ground,
Escape the chains and look around.

Secret dioramas, depict eternal dramas,
Tint the ballet with shades of grey,
Devise the panorama.
Inject the heat of summer, and add a splash of colour,
Adorn your number, clutch the skin,
Grab the horns from deep within.

And in this life we pave the way,
With love and countless mistakes.
We float around but there's a gravity,
That likes to pull us down.
Yeah, there's a gravity,
That likes to drag us down.

Deep within, inside the veins there's a sanguine holiday,
Thinning the blood, thickening the mind.
It tells the brain that everyday is Christmas Day,
But Good Fridays are never far behind.

When the sun is shining,
And the clouds are hiding,
All the tears wiped away,
Can you hear your heart arriving?
No more needless fighting,
No more nail biting,
All the anger fades away,
But it always seems to find it's way.
