Gravity

Drag me down, go on
I can lift myself higher
Than you ever thought.

2:30

It's 2:30, sir
And I cannot fall asleep
Why can't I? Tell me.

Listening

When you don't know how
And your answers feel used up
He's always listening.

Blame

You lost yourself, true
But it was in music, so
You aren't to blame.

Beauty

Beauty can be sharp
It can get you the worst way
So let the tears fall.

Lasts

Hey, looks like we're friends
Again, or maybe anew
I just hope it lasts.

Option

Bad mood? Feel guilty?
Be like Christ, righteous anger
Start flipping tables.

Scared

He scared her badly
And the way she looked at him
Was never the same.

Heartbreak

Excuse me sir, but
"Heartbreak" isn't metaphor
It's physical pain.

Icicle

Fear an icicle
Love a swiftly beating heart
Frost spread in my chest.

Blue

Why is the sky blue
When the earth is brown and grey
And black and so dark?

Wounds

I wanted to sing
So badly, but it only
Opened my closed wounds.

Stuck

Song, you are so stuck
In my head, that I wish you
Were stuck in theirs, too.
