“The Gravity Of Things”
Countdown commence, you’re on the fence, too late for that
The stars decide if we collide, too late for that
The first of your memories, your very last melodies, the last things you’ll ever see
You’re leaving the world behind
All you lost and all you love is on the ground, don’t look down
What we had and who we were doesn’t matter now, don’t look down
You’re leaving the world behind

“In Orbit”
One trip around the earth by the moon
Another one down, too many too soon
And then we all find, there’s more trips behind than those left ahead
One trip around the sun by the earth
Another one down, and for what it’s worth
For each trip that’s left, I’m glad that it’s you
I’m travelling with

“I Am Weightless”
What would you say? I’d say stay

“Why God Sent The Fires”
It wasn’t your fault after all
You’re tearing your skin to the bone
And you look to the sky as if it would know why,
But as just a man, some god had a plan
Bring on the fires

“In Sidereal Time”
Looking down on you, the world it splits in two,
But we all choose our paths, and what more could I do?
