Gravity from Penumbra by The Crossroad Convergence

What goes up
Must come down
That’s how this world
Keeps spinning ‘round
No way up,
No way out
The rules are piled so high
They weigh us down
We’re just not light enough
To break gravity

(A section)
To fly among the stars
You gotta slingshot ‘round the sun
Catch the wind with tattered sails
And make it look like fun
I’m no Freddy Mercury
No shining star
I’m just not light enough
To break gravity

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
How does anyone get that lucky?
In exactly the right place
At exactly the right time
And become someone who’ll change the whole damn world?
Is it just a cop out, a reason to give up?
The face saving excuse
For not being good enough?
Or is it that the game is rigged
Against the fools like us?
So we’re never light enough
To break gravity

(Chorus)
(Modified A Section)
To fly among the stars
You gotta slingshot ‘round the sun
Catch the wind with tattered sails
And make it look like fun
I’m no Freddy Mercury
No living legend, no shining star (hold and dramatic pause)
I’m sorry
I’m just not light enough
To break gravity

What goes up
Must come down
That’s how this world
Keeps spinning ‘round
I’m sorry
I’m just not light enough
To break gravity
