12. The Big Crunch

Lyrics • Collapse The Frame

Verse 1

Check it—

The expansion is over, the breath is held tight

We’re pulling the gravity back from the light

Every star in the ceiling is falling away

Into the mouth of the end of the day

The distance is dying, the void is a lie

The center is calling the earth and the sky

We’re gathering shadows, we’re gathering ghosts

Back to the silence of infinite hosts!

Pre-Chorus

Bring it in!

Total collapse!

Close the bin!

Fall through the gaps!

THE UNIVERSE IS FOLDING!

THE CENTER IS NOT HOLDING!

Chorus

Into the one! Into the none!

The final evolution has finally begun!

Everything we were and everything we knew

Is falling to the center of a world that isn't true!

SINGULARITY!

The point of no return

SINGULARITY!

Watch the information burn!

Verse 2

There is no "before" and there is no "behind"

Just the end of the matter and the end of the mind

One billion galaxies crushed to a spark

A single white pixel in the middle of dark

The math is a circle, the story is done

We’re reaching the place where the many are one

Don’t look for the exit, don’t look for the door

Because space and the time don't exist anymore.

Bridge

Density! Intensity!

The death of the immensity!

The clock is ticking backward to the zero and the start

We’re tearing the dimensions and the logic all apart!

Crush the atom! Crush the bone!

The final throne is made of stone!

It’s coming! It’s coming! The pressure is rising!

The fate of the light is beyond recognizing!

EVERYTHING IS ZERO!

EVERYTHING IS ZERO!

THE PACKET IS FULL!

THE CRUNCH! THE CRUNCH! THE CRUNCH!

Final Chorus

Into the one! Into the none!

The final evolution has finally begun!

Everything we were and everything we knew

Is falling to the center of a world that isn't true!

SINGULARITY!

The point of no return

SINGULARITY!

Watch the information burn!

One...

...Zero.
