Losing Altitude

I feel like a planet
That hasn't got a moon
Come orbit me and light night skies
With everything you do
But I won't give up gravity or tides
Or anything for you

I feel like a pilot
Who's lost the nerve to fly
I still look up every day
And dream of ruling the sky
But I won't give up gravity or tides
Or anything for you

I'm losing

I feel like a comet
That hasn't got a tail
Come follow me and cut the sky
With your luminescent trail
But I won't give up gravity or tides
Or anything for you
Tonight I'm slowly, but surely
Losing altitude

I'm losing

Like a hypernova that can't explode
I suck you into my black hole
And rip you up
Send you back in time
To places that have haunted you
And hurt you all of your life

I'm losing...altitude
