Lyrics: 

Ideals of every man
Should I bake my bread and eat what I can
And with that
One look at my castle and my car
Ideals of every man
Should I bake my bread or steal what I can
I wouldnt lie but sometimes true is not the opposite of false

And with that complicated notion
With your alibis and your emotion
If it's too much for one session
I will use my indiscretion
So breathe a lot
I know that it's all I've got
The lights are on inside my head
And I'm ready for dead
So don't breathe again
Don't tell me I'm your only friend
Take a minute just to sit right back and relax
Again

Gravity
Well it seems to be
So clear to me
Doesn't any others see
It's a luxury
It's worry free
Yesterday I called my friend
My enemy

And with that complicated notion
With your alibis and your emotion
If it's too much for one session
I will use my indiscretion
So breathe a lot
I know that it's all I've got
The lights are on inside my head
And I'm ready for dead
So don't breathe again
Don't tell me I'm your only friend
Take a minute just to sit right back and relax again.
