Weightless

Ellis Paul

She's trying to define her faith

like it's some role that she's playing

I tell her, "You remind me of someone else..."

But who it is I'm not saying "Hear me out," she says,

"I'm getting older, I don't need to justify

myself to you. Do you hear me?"

chorus:

When she walks in a room

it's like she's walking on water

or stepping across the moon

like she's gravity's only daughter

She's weightless

weightless



and I say, "You're just confused

because you talk too much to angels

and they faithfully refuse

to answer questions that are painful..."



"But Faith has no weight," she says,

"Now, Doubt, now, there's the burden...

You're completely right to think you're grounded -

Do you hear me?"
