Held Down by Gravity

Bedside for a few days now at least
No sound but the beeping of machines
Obsessed by the motion of you breathing
My heart breaks cause I know you won’t be healing
I watch the colour draining from your cheeks
There’s not much longer ‘till you’ll be at peace
But I’m
Held down by gravity
I’ve got the sun that’s staring back at me
There’s no way that you can see
That heaven is pulling you away from me
Held down by gravity
I’ve got the floor that’s clinging onto me
There’s no way that you can see
That I’m praying to our god that you’ll stay with me
Transfixed by your heartbeat on the screen
Flatline breaks the unending routine
I pace with a restless desperation
Paralysed by the painful declaration
I feel the colour draining from my cheeks
I feel so lost without you next to me
Cause I’m
Held down by gravity
I’ve got the sun that’s staring back at me
There’s no way that you can see
That heaven is pulling you away from me
Held down by gravity
I’ve got the floor that’s clinging onto me
There’s no way that you can see
That I’m praying to our god that you’ll stay with me
(Breakdown)
Held down by gravity
I’ve got the sun that’s staring back at me
There’s no way that you can see
That heaven is pulling you away from me
Held down by gravity
I’ve got the floor that’s clinging onto me
There’s no way that you can see
That I’m praying to our god that you’ll stay with me
I feel the colour draining from my cheeks
I feel so lost without you next to me
