lyrics

How I miss you. How I miss you, gravity.
How I miss youth; How I misused the one thing granted to me.

There's nothing left to betray,
They just ascend to decay,
And imitate the cliché.
Pristine, unbridled and sleek,
Slow-motion drifting, the sleet;
Teenaged, incurious sleep.

Skywritten, every line,
But in the back of our minds,
We know we're all out of time.
How many martyrs must fall,
Before we see through it all,
And heed the call?

Stripped of their anchors, these corpses will hover,
Floating by starlight.
Clipped at the ankles, we found one another,
Now in our twilight,
Nothing but a dream.

Higher, higher.

And now this moment is bleak,
We're temporary and weak,
Forget the things that you seek:
They're just a passing release,
But is it all that we see,
Or what we want it to be?

Stripped of their anchors, these corpses will hover,
Floating by starlight.
Clipped at the ankles, we found one another,
Now in our twilight,
It's nothing.

First we run, run, run, then the damage is done, and we're gone.
First we run, run, run, then the damage is done, and we're gone.

How I miss you. How I miss you, gravity.
How I miss youth; How I misused the one thing granted to me.

It's not a tragedy, no:
Just one more casualty.
It's only there to be gone.
There's nothing left to betray,
They just ascend to decay,
Forever wilting away.

Stripped of their anchors, these corpses will hover,
Floating by starlight.
Clipped at the ankles, we found one another,
Now in our twilight,
Stray and estranged now, you know when you're over,
Floating by starlight,
Here at the sidelines, watching you go: don't go!
Can we not just sing/sink like we used to?

How I miss you, gravity.
