Midnight Gravity

Shadows lean across the floor,
Echoes of the night before,
I walk slow, I breathe deep,
Carrying secrets I don’t speak.
City lights blur in my eyes,
Moving silent through the lies,
There’s weight in every step I take,
But I won’t let the silence break.
I’ve got midnight gravity,
Pulling down what’s left of me.
Floating through the smoke and heat,
Still, I stand on broken beats.
Midnight gravity,
Holding who I used to be.
Heartbeats sync with distant drums,
Truth gets lost where silence hums,
I don’t chase, I don’t plead,
I just burn and let it bleed.
Glass reflections tell no lies,
But they never show the highs,
Underneath this polished face,
Is a soul out of place.
I’ve got midnight gravity,
Pulling down what’s left of me.
Floating through the smoke and heat,
Still, I stand on broken beats.
Midnight gravity,
Holding who I used to be.
Time moves like heavy wind,
Wearing down the skin I’m in.
But in the hush of 3AM,
I find my strength again.
Midnight gravity,
Still it holds the best of me.
Through the dark I finally see,
That weight can set me free.
