7. Curvature

Lyrics • Collapse The Frame

Intro

Verse 1

Look at the grid, look at the lines

Woven together, the space and the times

It isn't a stage and it isn't a floor

It’s a velvet curtain, a closing door.

We thought it was empty, we thought it was flat

But the weight of a sun... put a dent in all that.

Pre-Chorus

And the light is leaning away

From the path of the yesterday

The fabric is starting to scream

In the heart of a cosmic dream...

BEND THE LIGHT!

Chorus

It’s the curvature! The ghost in the weave!

The elegant truth that we couldn’t perceive!

We’re falling in circles, we’re sliding down deep

Into the secrets the galaxies keep!

Space isn't empty! Time isn't straight!

We’re just the dust in the hands of the weight!

Verse 2

Wait for the shadow, wait for the dark

Watch as the starlight misses its mark

A lens in the heavens, a curve in the view

Proving the old world was never the true.

Mass is the master, the clock is a ghost

And we’re just the travelers, gravity’s host.

Chorus

It’s the curvature! The ghost in the weave!

The elegant truth that we couldn’t perceive!

We’re falling in circles, we’re sliding down deep

Into the secrets the galaxies keep!

Space isn't empty! Time isn't straight!

We’re just the dust in the hands of the weight!

Bridge

It bends! It breaks! The reality shakes!

The faster you run, the more that it takes!

Step on the grid, yeah, look at the lines

Gravity’s pulling on all the designs!

It’s pulling us under, it’s pulling us in

Where does the end of the vacuum begin?

BEND! THE! LIGHT!

Final Chorus

It’s the curvature! The ghost in the weave!

The elegant truth that we couldn’t perceive!

We’re falling in circles, we’re sliding down deep

Into the secrets the galaxies keep!

Space isn't empty! Time isn't straight!

We’re just the dust in the hands of the weight!
