Escape velocity

We are trapped, in a memory.
And so they swallow, every part of me.
We just ask, if they can only see.
Just how tight, they are holding me.

All we feel, is a hole.
Something's missing from our soul.
All their games take their toll.
We are trapped, the truth is told.

We closed our eyes, but we see you.
We pushed so hard, but can't get through.
We ran so fast we nearly flew
But there is nothing that we can do.

We can't reach, escape velocity
It's not just kinetic energy
They can't see the fucking gravity
Of why we can't reach escape velocity

We're a white hole
The start and end of space.
We miss our guiding star.
As we fall from grace.

We can't reach, escape velocity
It's not just kinetic energy
They can't see the fucking gravity
Of why we can't reach escape velocity
