4. Gravity's Noose

Lyrics • Collapse The Frame

Intro

Verse 1

Check the math, check the weight, check the logic of the fall

I’m a prisoner of the planet, I’m a shadow on the wall

Every action has a price, every motion has a leed

I’m just an apple on the branch, I’m just a victim of the greed

Of a center that is pulling, of a force I can't outrun

I’m a slave to the orbit, I’m a satellite to the sun!

Pre-Chorus

And I’m reaching out...

But I’m falling down...

The weight is all I've found!

Chorus

IT’S THE NOOSE AROUND THE UNIVERSE, THE TETHER IN MY SOUL

I’M LOSING MY DIRECTION, I AM LOSING ALL CONTROL!

YOU CAN REACH FOR THE STARS, YOU CAN PRAY FOR THE LIGHT

BUT GRAVITY IS HOLDING ON... AND HOLDING TIGHT!

Verse 2

Square of the distance, there is no resistance

Just a cold, calculated, mechanical persistence

The moon is a prisoner, the tides are a slave

From the cradle of the birth to the edge of the grave!

Pre-Chorus

And I’m reaching out...

But I’m falling down...

The weight is all I've found!

Chorus

IT’S THE NOOSE AROUND THE UNIVERSE, THE TETHER IN MY SOUL

I’M LOSING MY DIRECTION, I AM LOSING ALL CONTROL!

YOU CAN REACH FOR THE STARS, YOU CAN PRAY FOR THE LIGHT

BUT GRAVITY IS HOLDING ON... AND HOLDING TIGHT!

Bridge

PULL IT DOWN! (PULL IT DOWN!)

The earth is a hunger, the earth is a need!

PULL IT DOWN! (PULL IT DOWN!)

The logic is cold but the evidence bleeds!

Final Chorus

IT’S THE NOOSE AROUND THE UNIVERSE, THE TETHER IN MY SOUL

I’M LOSING MY DIRECTION, I AM LOSING ALL CONTROL!

YOU CAN REACH FOR THE STARS, YOU CAN PRAY FOR THE LIGHT

BUT GRAVITY IS HOLDING ON... AND HOLDING TIGHT!

Outro

It’s holding tight...

The apple falls...
