(Song - Album)
Innocent - Gravity
An acknowledgment of weakness - everyone is hurt, but that doesn't make them useless people. A song to remind them that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone
In the basement
With Lennon and Cobain and
A guitar and a stereo
While he wishes he
Could escape this
It all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul
[Chorus:]
I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are,
We are all innocent, we are all innocent
We are, we are, we are
We are all innocent, we are all innocent
We are, we are
Oh, Tina’s losing faith in what she knows
Hates her music
Hates all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery
And a new nose
Every calorie is a war
While she wishes she
Was a dancer
And that she'd never
Heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her
Some answers
And make her feel beautiful
[Chorus]
One day
You'll have to let it go,
Oh
One day
You'll stand up on your own, you'll stand up on your own
Yeah
Remember losing hope,
Remember feeling low,
Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped
We are,
We are all innocent, we are all innocent
We are, we are, we are,
We are all innocent, we are all innocent
We are, we are
We are,
We are all innocent
(One day, you'll have to let it go, you'll have to let it go)
We are all innocent
We are, we are, we are,
We are all innocent, we are all innocent
We are, we are
We are,
We are all innocent
(One day, you'll stand up on your own, stand up on your own)
We are all innocent
We are, we are, we are,
We are all innocent, we are all innocent
We are, we are
We are... we are all innocent...
Not Enough - Gravity
Oh man, this one is painful. This is the song they play for themselves when it is suddenly all too much to bear. They know they need each other, but it just hurts so much that it doesn't feel like enough - not an anxiety attack, but the next worst thing. Playing this track is a clear sign that backup in the form of Nanoha is needed - if one of them isn't enough, then two will be better.
There’s nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
Nothing in between
You know the truth
Nothing left to face
Nothing left to lose
Nothing takes your place
[Chorus:]
When they say you're
not that strong
You're not that weak
It’s not your fault
When you climb up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you're well
There’s nothing left to prove
Nothing I won't do
Nothing like the pain
I feel for you
Nothing left to hide
Nothing left to fear
I am always here
[Chorus]
What you want
What you lost
What you had
What is gone is over
What you've got
What you love
What you need
What you have is real
It's not enough
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
It's not enough, I’m sorry
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
[Chorus]
It’s not enough
No, it’s not enough
It’s not enough
Bring Back The Sun - Gravity
No one is perfect. Ideologies clash. Disagreements happen. Mistakes are made. And they suddenly realize just how precious and fragile what they have is. Something to help one into a contrite mood. Please don't let it be like this.
(PS: There was no studio version of the song on OLP's official channel, but this guy made a compelling little music video with a stick figure character and animated lyrics. Trust me, it's good.)
A little white house
It’s everything we've dreamed about
I wanted you to know
I’m hanging up my ego
We shouldn't have to fight
Or worry about the bills tonight
I wanted you to know
I want to be your shadow
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
Living by the hour
This grass wasn't greener I found
I wanted you to know
Well I dug you up a rainbow
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
And I know, I know I failed you
And I hope, I hope we get through
Sunny days again
And I know, I know I failed you
And I hope, I hope we get through
Sunny days again
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
Mystery's gone
Mystery's gone
Mystery's gone
Mystery's gone
Mystery's gone
Bring back the sun
Bury this hate
Build it with love
A little white house...
Life - Spiritual Machines
It's okay. We all screw up sometimes. It doesn't make us love you any less.
Throw away the radio suitcase
Keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone, telephone in case,
You realize that sometimes you're just not OK
You level off, you level off, you level off
And it's not alright now
You need to understand
There's nothing strange about this
You need to know your friends
You need to know that
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need
A friend as clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
Throw away this very old shoelace
Tripped you again
Try and shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
It's only skin now
You need to understand
There's nothing fake about this
You need to let me in
I'm watching you
And I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
No one's around
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need
A friend as clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need
A friend as clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
In here
In here
In here
In here
In here
In here
Life - Spiritual Machines
No matter what happens, no matter what we've been through, life is just waiting out there for us.
How many times have you been pushed around?
Was anybody there?
Does anybody care?
How many time have your friends let you down?
Was anybody there?
Did anybody stare?
How many time have your friends let you down?
Just open up your heart
Just open up your mind
How many times has your faith slipped away?
Well, is anybody safe?
Does anybody pray?
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
How many days have you just slept away?
Is everybody high?
Is everyone afraid?
How many times have you wished you were strong?
Have they ever seen your heart?
Have they ever seen your pain?
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, all her life
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, all her life
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
All messed up, but we'll survive
