Gravity's Union

Coheed And Cambria · The Afterman: Descension [2013]

I flew head first into the light

Weightless, crisscrossing, precise

In a dream or was it life?



Inside this door all answers wait

So saddle up my steed

Where the lies live way beneath



Oh my, I think I've made a mess

This is all my fault it's what I've wished



And I was wrong to let you go

I accept my mistake, but you will never know

This is my love into a ten ton truck

Baby, please remember the better me



No time to change my life in the air before

Our maximum reach outweighed

Apart, pictureless retreat



The terror meets the truth, no longer who

We now know what we must do

Shadow dancing through the roof



Contact the life you used to know

Gravity, the world in tow

And I was wrong to let you go

I accept my mistake, but you will never know

This is my love into a ten ton truck

Baby, please remember the better me



Driver may I sleep with you tonight

Numbered uncertainty

City limits, shoe strewn diary

The roar of the engine won't cease



All of my love and heart spilled in this car

Picture me the perfect enemy

Our lives are one, colliding up and beyond

In this fatal possibility



I am your, I am your prize



We wave welcome aboard

We wave welcome aboard

We wave welcome aboard

In my eyes I drown you



Has he forgotten his place

Bait the hook and let it sink

No cause for alarm

Enter the master, I am Dr. Straight



Scalpel keep that lung in place

Nurse, IV needs refilling

Now watch the brain

Responding quite normal

This life I can save



Every man has a point

Where he breaks or conjoins

Among pressure that floods to complicate

Matters close to the heart

Will define who we are

Do we love? Do we hate?

We are only the meat...



We understood the unmistakable

Two romantics on holiday and

How they stole our love



Caged

Locked in perpetual motion

Carving our wounds wide open

But you let the wrong one in
