On this winding road called life
I have traveled so far (so far)
Hollow echoes of the past,
Emboss me like a scar
Through eyes clenched ever so tight, I struggle to ignore
Hands pressed across my ears as I try to dull the roar (the roar)
Hopelessly broken and curled upon the cold hard floor
Spent a lifetime and day, to overcome this war
But once again you, lure me toward my own demise
Unable to look away, caught in the gravity of your eyes. (your eyes)
Ohh ohh ohhh
Gravity (gravity)
GRAVITY (Gravity)
I'm circling, spiraling, closer toward the grave
This cruel mistress called gravity, unable to behave (unable to behave)
With every step I take, the weight grows in my heart
This dance within darkness, is slowly tearing me apart (tearing me apart)
Your eyes glow like stars, I'm a moon caught in their trance
But this path we are chasing is a desperate dance (dance)
Every choice pulls me closer, like tides in the night
But the shadows are gathering, swallowing up the light (swallowing up the night)
Try my best to ignore reason, crying out in vain
Flicker of light in the distance, an oncoming train (train)
You say you have dreams, but whats left is covered in rust
Plead you have learned your lesson, as it crumbles to dust
I'm circling, spiraling, closer toward the grave
This cruel mistress called gravity, unable to behave (behave)
With every step I take, the weight grows in my heart
This dance within darkness, is slowly tearing me apart (tearing me apart)
I'm spiraling, I'm falling, lost in your eclipse
The weight of your bad decisions on my body grips (body grips)
Gravity's a cruel mistress, dragging me so low
Helplessly caught in your orbit, heartaches only grow (only grow)
But once again your lure me, toward my own demise
Unable to look away, caught in the gravity of your eyes (your eyes)
Ohh ohh ohhh
Gravity (gravity)
GRAVITY (Gravity)
So here I am once again, the king of my despair
With every single heartbeat, I feel the weight I bear
I'm a prisoner of my choices, lost inside the fight.
Yet somehow find the beauty, in this darkened night
So will I survive, or become a star destined for doom
Or break free from your grip, and escape shadows of gloom?
I'm spiraling, I'm falling, lost in your eclipse
The weight of your bad decisions on my body grips (body grips)
Gravity's a cruel mistress, dragging me so low
Helplessly caught in your orbit, heartaches only grow (only grow)
But once again your lure me, toward my own demise
Unable to look away, caught in the gravity of your eyes (your eyes)
Ohh ohh ohhh (ohhh)
Gravity (gravity)
GRAVITY (Gravity)

On this winding road called life
I have traveled so far (so far)
