lyrics

Weightless Plummet

Scaling peaks in search, in reach of human limits
Our frequent foray, a mystery to most
Blood and bone, rooted in home
Give into the weightless plummet
Helium fits and soda pop lips, evade Sir Newton’s rule of thumb
Legs and feet stuck to the street, give into the weightless plummet
Defying vertigo with smiles open wide
on colossal outcroppings, our bodies side to side
Pin-pricks in comparison to salt and pepper scars of geological anomalies accepting no holds barred
Give into the weightless plummet, give into the weightless plummet

Unconscious daily breath, the rise and fall of a chest
A bicycle down a hill, tempting speed against one’s will
Thought to thought evading scrutiny of an accepted, habitual reality and it’s all attributed to gravity
To harness nature raw, our attempts forlorn
If we discover the serious side of gravity scorned
Her lunar majesty, a magnet
Muting the cries, hiding the tears as the waves crash upon the shore
And I speak of the mountains that were here before we came and will be there when we go
Summit attempts through the centuries while battling ice and snow
A personal challenge, can I do it, there is only one way to know

Jump or float
Keep her (me) in her (my) boat
Pull down snow and rain
That wash away sidewalk chalk drawings
Give into the weightless plummet (x4)

Walls built up to crumble down
Ramshackle, weathered time spares no one (x3)
Give into the weightless plummet (x4)

Vocals, Uke, Composed by: Danielle Arsenault
