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...
