Gravity (The Exception)

[Instrumental Intro: Deep Orchestral Drone, Slow Pulsing Bass, Echoed Piano Notes, Expansive Atmospheric Synths]

[Intro]
Falling inward
Worlds align
Curving space
Across all time

No resistance
No divide
Silent motion
Tides collide

[Verse 1]
Planets turning through the dark
Drawn together from the start
No reverse and no repel
Only wells inside the swell

Mountains bend beneath the strain
Stars collapse and rise again
Mass responds to mass alone
Through the fabric softly sewn

[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing asks
Nothing waits
Motion bends
To hidden weight

[Chorus]
Gravity
(The exception)
Oh so heavy
(On reflection)

Universal pull
(No rejection)
Curving space
(In all directions)

[Refrain]
Gravity
(The exception)

Heavy
(On reflection)

[Instrumental Break: Low Brass Swells, Reverbed Guitar, Slow Cinematic Percussion]

[Verse 2]
Galaxies in spiral drift
Moons and oceans slowly shift
Light itself begins to bend
Toward the depth that has no end

No opposite to balance scale
Only mass within the veil
From black holes to grains of sand
All are linked by an unseen hand

[Bridge]
Time slows down where matter grows
Deep inside the pressure flow
Distance folds and pathways curve
Following the cosmic nerve

Without gravity’s embrace
Nothing forms in empty space
No suns ignite, no worlds remain
No life emerges from the chain

[Build Section: Choir Pads Rising, Percussion Intensifies, Bass Expands]

Falling through
(Curved spacetime)
Orbit lines
(Intertwine)

Silent force
(Holds the frame)
Pulling all
(Without a name)

[Final Chorus]
Gravity
(The exception)
Reality
(On reflection)

Universal pull
(Endless connection)
Binding stars
(Beyond perception)

[Final Refrain]
Gravity
(The exception)

Heavy
(On reflection)

[Outro: Slow Piano Decay, Deep Ambient Drone, Fading Cosmic Noise]
No opposite
No divide
Only motion
Side by side

[Silence]
