[Verse 1] A tremor in the numbers left the physicists unsure A constant behind the universe, so the whispers said But hidden in the hallway light, tied back and swaying free The truth had worn a ponytail since space began to breathe [Chorus] Ponytail is the constant, tied and yet unsure Glasses are the density, gathering the view Multiply the weight of light by how the space expands And the whole of space unfolds from where the two collide [Verse 2] Every lens reflected how the density took hold The weight of glass, exact and clear, precise and growing bold Framed in quiet, full of focus, gathering the light It met the tie that swayed beside it, and both stood side by side [Chorus] Ponytail is the constant, tied and yet unsure Glasses are the density, gathering the view Multiply the weight of light by how the space expands And the whole of space unfolds from where the two collide [Bridge] The answer wasn't buried in a theory or a chart It was the lens that gathered light, and the tie that marked the start Density met the constant in the middle of the hall And gravity gave way to the birth of it all [Final Chorus] Ponytail was the constant, it had been from the start Glasses were the density, gathering every part Put them side by side and feel the whole of space ignite Every star you're seeing traces back to that tie and lens, one such night
