Like Gravity

Stay
Yes I know that I cannot control
What you’re going to say
I’m out on this limb
It feels like I’m hanging
Oh but outside it’s springtime
Bursting green with energy
Here inside this universe
Thats pulling you to me like gravity
Oh my heart it’s the right thing
Oh my head I’m not sure of anything
But if we never give it breath
It will never sing
Sweet thing
You’re so close to me now
I can feel your body heat your heat
Beating
All I really know is I want a little closer
And outside it’s springtime
Bursting green with energy
Here inside this universe
Thats pulling you to me like gravity
Oh In my heart it’s the right thing
Oh my head I’m not sure of anything
But if we never give it breath
It will never sing
But if we never give it breath
It will never sing

Heart Don't Want to Know

Your hollow heart
What you want
Anytime it’s up to sway
But just remember the words that you use
At this point it could go any way
Oh liar, liar
Web that you weave
You’re on the run
You’re under the gun
But you know I want to believe
Tearfall and trial
Everywhere you go
Head says ‘Keep on walking’
But my heart don’t want to know
At first the taste is so sweet
There on the tip of your tongue
But the poison soon is complete
With the bitterness that comes
He’s a heartbreaker, dream taker
Say what they will
You’re on the run
You’re under the gun
But the rest of the world stands still
Dreams falling round me
Everywhere you go
Head says ‘Keep on walking’
But my heart don’t want to know.
My fickle heart
What I want
Anytime it’s up to sway
But just remember the words that I use
At this point it could go any way
It’s a heartbreaker, dream taker
This web that we weave
You’re on the run
But you’re under my thumb
Cause I know that you want to believe
Tearfall and trial
Everywhere you go
Head says ‘Keep on walking’
But my heart don’t want to know

Sleeping With the Enemy
04:12

I heard a rumour somewhere around town
That you’re back in your digs now
You’ve been away but you’re hitting the ground
Running just as fast as you can
My heart I protect because I know what you’re like
You plead innocence but a tiger can’t change his stripes
You sweet talk me, no one does it better
I can feel a pressure change like we’re in for nasty weather
I’m a fool for you, what a fool
Cause you come on hot, you come on strong
There’s no denying it
The words are all right but you’re so wrong
And I have a memory
Of what it was like the last time around
My fear gets ahold of me
Cause may you are my new best friend
Or maybe I’m sleeping with the enemy
I’m messing up for falling back down
Letting you get so close to me
I’ve had my punishment, pound for pound
When it comes to loving you
But just one touch from those beautiful fingers
On the back of my hand
And it’s all over
You sweet talk me, no one does it better
I can feel a pressure change
Is it just nasty weather
I’m a fool for you, what a fool
Cause you come on hot, you come on strong
There’s no denying it
The words are all right but you’re so wrong
I’ve got a memory
Of what it was like the last time around
My fear gets ahold of me
Cause may you are my new best friend
Or maybe I’m sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy

Trying

I've been thinking about
What got said
While we were leaving
And it's the things
We both left out
That probably had all the meaning
You come on with your little boy smile
You'd do anything to keep me from crying
But by now we’re both so worn out
Still we stay here and keep trying
There is no blame, this love thick as thieves it's no accident
My heart is bleeding
All the things that you ask of me
Can't find the words to say what we're needing
I come on with my hands in your hair
I'd do anything to keep you from crying
But by now we're both so worn out
Still we stay here and keep trying
We Keep trying
I've been thinking about
What got said when we were leaving
And I think we're both full of doubt
We keep on talking like we're believing
You come on with your little boy smile
When you touch me I cant stop crying
By now we're both so worn out
We should do ourselves a favour and stop trying
Do ourselves a favour and stop trying
A favour and stop trying

I trying but hands are shaking
At the thought you might be near
How many years you’ve taken?
We’re bound together by my fear
I remember a night like velvet
Hair as black as a raven
Body hard like alabaster
You won’t be forgiven
In the pines the full moon is shining
Feel the heat of summer gone
Feel the loneliness that is October
Feel the weight of what you’ve done
I remember a night like velvet
Your hair as black as a raven
Body hard like alabaster
You won’t be forgiven
You won’t be forgiven

Falter
04:54
|

|
Did your hands go cold
When you took ahold
Of the reigns?
Did you lose your sight?
black with appetites
leaving only stains
I stumble and I falter
The pull of it of it I can't explain
I stumble and I fall, sir
Hypnotized by the flame
Another set of ribs
For the love he gives
For the love he takes
Another set of ribs
My heart protected
From all the love we make
All you said
Did it mess my head
Twisted, little lies
Just a dirty thief
He shows no mercy
He goes right for the spine
And I stumble
And I stumble
And I stumble
And I stumble
Did the room go cold
When you lost control?
Giving up the reigns
I see you fight
With your black appetites
Only bringing pain
I stumble and I falter
The pull of it I can't explain
I stumble and I fall, sir
But I keep crawling back
Just the same
Another set of ribs
For the love you give
For the love you take
Another set of ribs
My heart protected
From all the love we break

Old White Men
04:27
|

|
Here they are
The new captains of fate
They capitalize and legitimize
Your hate
Come on, get a good seat
Before it’s too late
Just Old White Men
Again & again & again & again & again & again
Just Old White Men
Again & again & again & again & again & again
Have they singled you out
The scapegoat roster is clear
And though the names have changed
The faces remain year to year
They lie & deflect & distract
Keep me dumb in fear
Just Old White Men
Again & again & again & again
Just Old White Men
Again & again & again & again & again & again
Again & again & again & again & again & again

Survive the Fall
03:17
|

|
It comes on as lonely as a whisper
Just some words that you think you missed ya
Twisted tongues, what they’ve done
The language misused
Hold your breath and come a little closer
Hip to hip we’ll move a little lower
Every hand in it’s place
Just for us two
Oh I’ll survive the fall
I’ll survive the fall
I’ll survive the fall
Cause it’s just what I do
With the bleak signs
The hard times we’re willing
Things you need
And you’ll bleed for the killing
They profit all but they’ll take a cheque
From you too
In the ways and the means propagator
We’re so tired from it all
We just sit and stare
Everything in our name
Everything done in truth
Oh I’ll survive the fall
I’ll survive the fall
I’ll survive the fall
Cause it’s just what I do
Oh I’ll survive the fall
Even if I have to crawl
I’ll survive the fall
Cause it’s just what I do
Just what I do
Just what I do
Just what I do
