3. The Inclined Plane

Lyrics • Collapse The Frame

Intro

Verse 1

I’m tilting the board by a couple degrees and I’m watching the friction begin to release

I’m digging for truth in a garden of lies just to find a momentum that'll never decrease

See, Aristotle was talking in circles but gravity doesn't care about the name

It’s a steady acceleration, a physical revelation, breaking the lock on the frame!

Verse 2

Now the icons are cracking and falling like rain

As I measure the time on this wooden plane

The church is a shadow that’s trying to swallow

The logic I’m building inside of my brain...

Pre-Chorus

It’s picking up speed...

The friction is gone...

I’m losing the lead...

Before the dawn...

Chorus

LET IT ROLL! (Let it go!) LET IT BREAK! (For the sake!)

HOW MUCH MORE CAN THE SYSTEM TAKE?

THE INCLINE IS STEEP AND THE FRAME IS CRACKED

THERE IS NO TURNING AROUND, NO TURNING BACK!

FALLING!

ACCELERATE THE PAIN UNTIL THE TRUTH IS EXACT!

Verse 3

The evidence mounts and the pressure is rising, I’m seeing the world through a different sizing

A revolutionary way of advising that everything they’ve been sold is disguising

The truth of the motion, the depth of the ocean, the way that the heavens are held in devotion

I’m breaking the silence and causing a riot, a physical form of a mental emotion!

Verse 4

We are the anchor, the pride and the glass

Watching the evidence quietly pass

Locked in the motion, locked in the frame

Calling the silence by every known name...

Bridge

FASTER... DOWN THE PLANE!

HIGHER... THROUGH THE RAIN!

GRAVITY! MOMENTUM! THE EARTH IS IN MOTION!

GRAVITY! MOMENTUM! THE EARTH IS IN MOTION!

Chorus

LET IT ROLL! LET IT BREAK!

HOW MUCH MORE CAN THE SYSTEM TAKE?

THE INCLINE IS STEEP AND THE FRAME IS CRACKED

THERE IS NO TURNING AROUND, NO TURNING BACK!

Outro

The earth is moving...

The earth is moving...
