[Intro — half-time, breathy, sparse] Heavy. They built this whole world heavy. Set where I'd fall before I could stand. [Verse 1] They drew the whole orbit in a line I can't read Made the gravity cruel so I'd land where they need Painted a door on the cell, called the paint a sky Swore the falling was flight — and I almost bought the lie [Build] But a countdown caught fire way down low in my chest Every breath is a thruster, every fear is the weight Knuckles white on the throttle and there's no coming back I am done coming down — I am done coming down [Drop 1] (Heavy and dramatic) [Verse 2] Escape velocity Burn the name that they gave me, burn it back to the seed Hit the speed where the gravity finally loosens its teeth I let go of the ground — and the ground let go of me [Build] And the higher I climb, the more weight falls away All the masks, all the maps, all the lives that they made There's a black up above with no edges, no name And I'm burning to reach it — I won't fall back again [Drop 2] Escape velocity (Heavy dramatic and chaotic drop) [Outro — strip back, atmospheric] Escape velocity Burn the name that they gave me, burn it back to the seed Hit the speed where the gravity finally loosens its teeth I let go of the ground — and the ground let go of me
