10. Zero Barrier

Lyrics • Collapse The Frame

Verse 1

I’m standing at the edge of the impossible wall

Waiting for the physics and the logic to fall

The mountain is too high and the fire is too bright

But I’m shimmering away in the middle of the night

I’m a wave, I’m a ghost, I’m a flicker in the stone

A secret that the universe has never really known

I don’t have the strength, I don’t have the speed

But I’m becoming everything the vacuum's gonna need.

Pre-Chorus

Hit the wall!

Feel the impact!

Hit the wall!

Lose the contact!

The barrier is solid but the math is getting thin

Let the outside out! Let the inside in!

TUNNELING!

Chorus

There is no barrier! There is no floor!

I’m walking through the hinges of a locked-up door!

Defying the energy! Defying the height!

I’m bleeding through the darkness to the other side of light!

ZERO BARRIER!

I’m appearing where I shouldn’t be

ZERO BARRIER!

Finally becoming free!

Verse 2

The probability is small but the chance is never zero

Every atom in the void is a momentary hero

I disappeared in silence, I arrived without a sound

Leaving all the heavy weight of legacy aground

The potential is a prison that I’ve learned to disregard

Walking through the diamond when the pressure gets too hard

I’m a leak in the reality, a hole in the design

I’m stepping over every single horizontal line.

Pre-Chorus

Hit the wall!

Feel the impact!

Hit the wall!

Lose the contact!

The barrier is solid but the math is getting thin

Let the outside out! Let the inside in!

TUNNELING!

Chorus

There is no barrier! There is no floor!

I’m walking through the hinges of a locked-up door!

Defying the energy! Defying the height!

I’m bleeding through the darkness to the other side of light!

ZERO BARRIER!

I’m appearing where I shouldn’t be

ZERO BARRIER!

Finally becoming free!

Bridge

You can build the wall high, you can build it ten-thick

But the quantum revolution is a magic trick!

I’m a particle of nothing, I’m a wave of the void

I’m the fundamental law that you can never avoid!

Watch me vanish!

Vanish!

Watch me bloom!

Bloom!

I’m the phantom in the corner of the laboratory room!

THROUGH THE STONE!

THROUGH THE STEEL!

NOTHING IN THIS UNIVERSE IS EVER GONNA FEEL REAL!

Final Chorus

There is no barrier! There is no floor!

I’m walking through the hinges of a locked-up door!

Defying the energy! Defying the height!

I’m bleeding through the darkness to the other side of light!

ZERO BARRIER!

I’m appearing where I shouldn’t be

ZERO BARRIER!

Finally becoming free!
