Jay Allard - Gravity Branches

Roots and lightning
Did you see?
They look the same
Well, they do to me.
(Gravity branches)

You and I, we're not the same
Though we too are pulled
Shooting sometimes, sometimes creeping
Together into silence
And together we might just concede:
What's past is paste
It's waste that lasts.
(Gravity branches)
