Gravity

She doesn’t care.
She lays him down.
And so it goes.
She’s on the ground.
Bending so slowly
So slowly to his knees
He pulls her close.
He wants to please.

It’s the force of gravity
Falling deep inside of me
Is it only destiny
We all fall down

Nothing has a sound
All of its own
Darkness on the town
Finds you alone

Now she’s on the floor.
She’s open wide.
All of their words
Their words just get inside.
They turn you in.
They turn you out.
They make you still.
They make you shout.
Don’t turn it up .
Don’t turn it down.
And in and out
And in and out.

I’m on a square
Inside a square.
On any  side
Any side we share.

If I could
I’d read between the lines.
I’d stand in front
Not fall behind the times.

It’s the force of gravity
Falling deep inside of me
Is it only destiny
We all fall down

Nothing has a sound
All of its own
Darkness on the town
Finds you alone

Shadows all around
She’s off the wall.
She’s not here
Not here at all.

I’m walking through
my walk on part.
I say my lines
Without my heart.

And she can hear
Each breath he takes.
Those fragile words
Words about to break.

Burning bridges
Still left standing.
In our love
Misunderstanding.
Still left standing still
Still left standing still.

It’s the force of gravity
Falling deep inside of me
Is it only destiny
We all fall down

Nothing has a sound
All of its own
Darkness on the town
Finds you alone

She doesn’t care.
She lays him down.
And so it goes.
She’s on the ground.
Bending so slowly
So slowly to his knees.
He pulls her close.
He wants to please.

Now she’s on the floor.
She’s open wide.
All of their words
Their words just get inside.

I’m walking through
my walk on part.
I say my lines
Without my heart.

It’s the force of gravity
Falling deep inside of me
Is it only destiny
We all fall down

Nothing has a sound
All of its own
Darkness on the town
Finds you alone

Race Of Slaves

Four walls makes one hall
In the corridors we’ve seen before
No day or night
Just florescent light
In the endless fades on the mannequins face
Unbroken gaze in the race of slaves

It’s closing time in the human zoo
Lock the doors before it gets to you
Let down your gates
As the marquee fades
On the shopping stores, on the exit doors
In the race of slaves, race of slaves

The lights begin to blur again
And no one sees where this will end
We medicate the mind we drain
To numb the brain and call it sane
In the race of slaves, race of slaves

Four walls makes one hall
In the corridors we’ve seen before
No day or night
Just florescent light
In the endless fades on the mannequins face
Unbroken gaze in the race of slaves
