Gravity
Billy Shaughnessy
Your eyes are very strange to me
Somehow they weigh me down
We can't tell
What all this light has drowned
How does hope create a way
To destroy all the fear today?
Take the sadness from tomorrow
As precious waking hours are borrowed
Paranoia lights the path
The blind were born to see
It feels like I've been here before
Or was it just a dream?
Dragged into the starless void
I feel empty inside
Gloom that seems to last forever
And smiles which stay left far behind
Your eyes are very strange to me
Somehow they weigh me down
And just as well
They keep me on the ground
Looking on, avoiding turns
With each one we must live and learn
Old high hopes amongst the ropes
Above the flames but lost in smoke
