Name: i was just the gravity
Duration: P00H02M37S
Description: I really didn't have a lot of time this week, as I'm off to a festival today (bit rude that Spintunes couldn't start a week later just for me!), so I knocked out a little poppy indie tune to hopefully get me through the first round for when I've got more time!

I really didn't have a lot of time this week, as I'm off to a festival today (bit rude that Spintunes couldn't start a week later just for me!), so I knocked out a little poppy indie tune to hopefully get me through the first round for when I've got more time!

lyrics

I was just the ballast
Weighing you down
A burden to you
Bound to the ground
You slashed all the ropes
Untethered yourself
Up into the sky
Found somebody else

I was the gravity
Pulling you down

Now you're just a revenant
A revery
Sent by my conscience
To torment me
A vision of guilt
Driven by shame
Made up of regret
And shouldered blame

I was just the gravity
Pulling you down

You saw through me
The sky beckoned
So you just float away

I was just the gravity
Always pulling you down
I was just the gravity
Always pulling you down
I was just the gravity
Always pulling you down
I was just the gravity
Always pulling you down
