“Shared Gravity”

Verse 1
Sixteen, staring at a silent sky
No voice came down, no reason why
Just empty space and borrowed time
And questions echoing in my mind

They said “build your life on what you earn”
Or “leave a mark before you burn”
Some chase love, some chase pain
Some just dance in the acid rain

Pre-Chorus
Nineteen years, still nothing clear
Just less to hold and less to fear

Chorus
If nothing matters, why’s it hurt so bad?
Why’s the silence louder than everything we had?
Maybe meaning isn’t something we find alone
Maybe it’s just two hearts calling something home
In a universe that won’t reply
You’re the reason I still try

Verse 2
No heaven waiting, no hell below
No final place we’re meant to go
Just scattered souls on borrowed light
Trying to make it through the night

Money fades and names decay
Eyes forget you anyway
Galaxies drift, cold and wide
No one’s out there on the other side

Pre-Chorus
All I know after all this time
Is empty truths don’t feel like mine

Chorus
If nothing matters, why’s it hurt so bad?
Why’s the silence louder than everything we had?
Maybe meaning isn’t written in the stars
Maybe it’s just who we are
In a universe that won’t reply
You’re the reason I still try

Bridge
Strip it down, let it fall apart
All that’s left is a beating heart
Not for gold, not for fame
Not for some forgotten name

But for a voice that says “I’m here”
Cutting through the cosmic fear

Final Chorus
If nothing matters, then hold me close
Be the only truth I know
If the world’s just drifting endlessly
Then you’re my shared gravity

In the dark where answers die
You’re the reason I still try
