MARATHON LYRICS - Gravity's Temptation

MARATHON LYRICS

"Gravity's Temptation"

There is a bridge where my hope stands naked and afraid

Gazing to the falls below

200 feet of gravity's all that separates

from where my faith broke long ago

And it's all I can do

To keep from shouting "jump"

And my dirties thoughts

Are to laugh as I shove him off

And the echoing smack

Will bounce off the gorge's walls

And i'll finally get some sleep



I'm just one tiny person, where do i begin?

We're fighting a battle I don't think we'll win

I'm tempted to say "Fuck it" and turn my voice in

but that offers no dignity



So I'll turn my back on that spectacular drop

Wrap my arms around Hope and drag his ass off

While he kicks and he screams I'll just quietly sob

"I still need you here with me"



'Cause my hope, my hope is the only thing left to cling to

Our hope, our hope is the only thing to get us through

My hope, my hope is the only thing left to cling to
