Zero-G Reckoning

The Zero-G Reckoning

(Record scratch)
Yo, check the mic, one two, this ain’t no fairy tale, this is physics rage,
A lyrical assault on the laws that govern life on this stage.
I’m talkin’ ‘bout the pressure, the pull, the anchor holding down the spheres,
The crushing weight of existence, drowning out all hopes and fears.
But somethin’ shifted, a glitch in the matrix, a cosmic error made,
The fundamental force that binds us is suddenly betrayed.

Ope there goes gravity, yeah, I mean it, look at the floor!
The pull is gone, the tether snapped, we ain’t pullin’ anymore!
I float like a balloon, drift like a ghost in the vacuum of space,
My bones protest the freedom, my equilibrium lost in this place.
Used to walk with a purpose, now I’m just spinning and swayin’,
A derelict ship adrift where the laws of physics are disdainin’.
The ground is a concept now, an abstract notion I can’t grip,
Just open space expanding, watchin’ reality slip.

The kitchen is turning sideways, the silverware starts to spin,
Mom’s casserole is orbiting, chaos where the dinner begins.
I try to grab a plate, but it just floats out of my reach,
A ballet of pure motion, beyond all logical speech.
This ain’t no dream, this ain’t no hallucination I can deny,
It’s the heavy hand of nothingness lookin’ right into my eye.
The architects of matter just packed up and walked away slow,
Left us stranded in the void where gravity refuses to flow.

I tried to scream out defiance, a shout against the empty air,
But sound itself is warped and stretched, a vibration beyond compare.
The silence is deafening now, a vacuum filled with pure dread,
Every molecule dances free, a ghost in my own head.
I’m weightless and terrifying, a puppet without a string,
Where was the safety net woven? Where did the pull that made things sing?
I see the stars now burning, cold diamonds against the black,
And realize the cosmic structure means there’s no turning back.

The concrete groans beneath me, the floorboards start to bend,
This freedom is a torture when every single moment has an end.
No more necessity of anchor, no more pull to keep me grounded tight,
Just endless, dizzying drift through this abyssal, zero-G night.
And I rage against the void, against the cosmic joke they threw,
Tellin’ little men and women that the rules are something untrue.
We built our lives on burdens, on constant struggle and might,
Now stripped bare of that anchor, floating in the blinding light.

So let gravity vanish, let the heavy burden cease,
I’m gonna ride this empty ocean, find a new and broken peace.
I’ll learn to master drifting, embrace the chaos I can see,
A free spirit unbound, unbound by what was meant for me.
This isn’t just a joke, this is the end of the old decree,
The rules are rewritten now, for all the world to finally see.
Yeah, gravity’s gone, man, it’s officially off the track,
And I’m flyin’ through the cosmos, there ain’t no turning back.
