No Gravity (Elise & I In Space)

from Citizen Clay by Clay Otis & The Dream Sheiks

/

lyrics

You tell me it's only a placebo effect
that nothing I ever feel ever is direct
I could never ever doubt your intellect
but I need you to give my affection respect
one time, just tonight,
I dream of holding you,
think it'd Feel fine

But you tell me there's no gravity,
my feelings hold no levity
lies of no gravity
just to float away from me

My heart floats off into the sky,
like a dim lit star left to question why
he's sitting beside his brethren so bright
trying to reach your heart that won't ignite
my scars show boldly at night

The dim lit stars the dim lit stars
with bold, bold scars of inadequacy
they shine boldly through the night
they make it alright

Once admired your being aloof
I'm at my wits end now to tell you the truth
you deflate me, shatter my reflection
I feel like a balloon, on the floor
at a party that was long since forgotten

Cause you tell me there's no gravity
my feelings hold no levity
pretending there's no gravity
you've floated far away from me

You floated away, away from me
because of bullshit illusions
your protective delusions
spawned by inadequacies
for the dim dim stars
by the bold bold stars
shamed by half lit scars
drink whiskey through the night
just to feel alright
i blurred my sight
you were in my vision
my feet, my feet, my feet
my feet was on the ground
and the planets alligned
you remained blind
just to tell me lies
just to hide
hide from what?
just a hiding from feelings
staying under ceilings
you need you need
to get out
the world has love
that's what it's all about
put your feet on this ground
and get yourself around
people are here for you
helping them's what to do
they're here for you
just you be there for them
your feet are the ground
love the town
so whenever you are down
you can come find me
