Gravity's Union

  • I flew head first into the light
    Weightless, crisscrossing, precise
    In a dream or was it life?
    Inside this door, all answers wait
    So saddle up my steed
    Where the lies live way beneath

    Oh my, I think I've made a mess
    This is all my fault, it's what I've wished

    And I was wrong to let you go
    I accept my mistake, but you will never know
    This is my love into a ten ton truck
    Baby, please remember the better me

    No time to change my life in the air before
    Our maximum reach outweighed
    Apart, picture-less retreat
    The terror meets the truth, no longer who
    We now know what we must do
    Shadow dancing through the roof

    Contact the life you used to know
    Gravity, the world in tow

    And I was wrong to let you go
    I accept my mistake, but you will never know
    This is my love into a ten ton truck
    Baby, please remember the better me

    Driver, may I sleep with you tonight?
    Numbered uncertainty
    City limits, shoe strewn diary
    The roar of the engine won't cease
    All of my love and heart spilled in this car
    Picture me, the perfect enemy
    Our lives are one, colliding up and beyond
    In this fatal possibility
    I am your, I am your prize

    We wave welcome aboard
    We wave welcome aboard
    We wave welcome aboard
    In my eyes I drown you

    Has he forgotten his place?
    Bait the hook and let it sink
    No cause for alarm
    Enter the master, I am Doctor Straight

    Scalpel, keep that lung in place
    Nurse, IV needs refilling
    Now watch the brain
    Responding quite normal
    This life I can save

    Every man has a point
    Where he breaks or conjoins
    Among pressure that floods to complicate
    Matters close to the heart
    Will define who we are
    Do we love? Do we hate?
    We are only the meat, meat, meat
    Meat, meat
    Meat, meat

    We understood the unmistakable
    Two romantics on holiday and
    How they stole our love

    Caged, locked in perpetual motion
    Carving our wounds wide open
    But you let the wrong one in, ha ha ha ha

    Caged, locked in perpetual motion
    Carving our wounds wide open
    But you let the wrong one in, ha ha ha ha

    Caged, locked in perpetual motion
    Carving our wounds wide open
    But you let the wrong one in, ha ha ha ha

    Caged, locked in perpetual motion
    Carving our wounds wide open
    But you let the wrong one in, ha ha ha ha Writer/s: Claudio Sanchez
