Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I want to be the king of my body and mind
Gravity let me go
Before it bruises and blackens me and you
Bury me in the glow
[Verse 2]
And I find sorrow in idle mind
And solace in being heard
[Verse 3]
You better run boy run but be afraid
Cry, boy, cry don't play the game
Gravity holds me down
[Verse 4]
And it's taking over
I call everywhere, oh
I cry out
[Verse 5]
You are my destroyer
I call everywhere, oh
I cry out
[Verse 6]
A light shines through a cloud of color fumes
Gravity let me go
So I can feel the warmth of the sun
Bury me in the glow
[Verse 7]
You better run, boy, run, but be afraid
Cry, boy, cry, don't play the game
Gravity holds me down
[Verse 8]
And it's taking over
I call everywhere, oh
I cry out
[Verse 9]
You are my destroyer
I call everywhere, oh
I cry out
[Verse 10]
And it's taking over
I call everywhere, oh
I cry out
[Verse 11]
You are my destroyer
I call everywhere, oh
I cry out
