Lyrics:
Comin' up beyond belief,
On this cornonary thief,
More than just a leitmotif,
More chaotic, no relief,
I'll describe the way I feel,
Weeping wounds that never heal,
Can the saviour be for real,
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay,
You come on just like special K,
Just like I swallowed half my stash,
I never, ever wanna crash,
No hesitation, no delay,
You come on just like special K,
Now you're back for dope demand,
I'm on sinking sands.

Gravity,
No escaping,
Gravity,
Gravity,
No escaping,
Not for free,
I fall down,
To the ground,
I make a heavy sound,
Every time,
You seem to come around.

I'll describe the way I feel,
You're my new Achilles heel,
Can the saviour be for real,
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay,
You come on just like special K,
Just like I swallowed half my stash,
I never, ever wanna crash,
No hesitation, no delay,
You come on just like special K,
Now you're back for dope demand,
I'm on sinking sands.

Gravity,
No escaping,
Gravity,
Gravity,
No escaping,
Not for free,
I fall down,
To the ground,
I make a heavy sound,
Every time,
You seem to come around.

No escaping gravity,
No escaping gravity,
No escaping gravity,
No escaping gravity,
Gravity, gravity, gravity, gravity.
