Track Insight / Lyrics
I woke up in a city that was built on borrowed time
Every window's glowing like a lie that's dressed up fine
I got a head full of thunder and a pocket full of rain
And a woman in my memory who only knows my name
When the morning comes to break me, I'll be standing in the flame
(Pre-Chorus)
Bass and toms, tense pulse building...
They sold us pretty pictures, sold us sugar, sold us dust
But the mirror in the bathroom says the only thing I trust
I'm not the man they wanted, I'm the man I had to be
So light the fuse and step aside —
(Chorus)
GRAVITY LIES! — I was born to fall and rise!
GRAVITY LIES! — cut me open, watch me shine!
Every scar's a story and I'm telling mine tonight —
GRAVITY LIES! GRAVITY LIES!
(Verse 2)
I've been a saint, I've been a sinner, been a ghost inside my skin
Traded pieces of my soul for just a chance to start again
There's a fire in the basement and it's whispering my name
Every saint I ever worshipped was a devil dressed the same
But I'd rather burn to ashes than go crawling back to shame
(Pre-Chorus)
They can keep their hollow heavens, keep their gilded, quiet graves
I was born inside a storm and I will ride it to the waves
I'm not the son they wanted, I'm the wolf that wouldn't kneel
So strike the match and let it burn —
(Chorus)
GRAVITY LIES! — I was born to fall and rise!
GRAVITY LIES! — cut me open, watch me shine!
Every scar's a story and I'm telling mine tonight —
GRAVITY LIES! GRAVITY LIES!
(Bridge)
...
And when the silence finds me...
...when the weight is breaking through...
...
I remember what they told me...
...
I remember it's not true...
(Final Chorus)
GRAVITY LIES! (let it burn!) — I was born to fall and rise!
GRAVITY LIES! (let it burn!) — cut me open, watch me shine!
Every scar's a story and I'm telling mine tonight —
GRAVITY LIES! GRAVITY LIES!
GRAVITY... LIES...
