Lyrics

You spoke in measures I could keep
A steady rise, no sudden leap
Every step was clean and known
A borrowed balance not my own

The rooms were square, the lines were straight
No hidden shift, no second state
I almost thought I learned it all
How not to break, how not to fall

But it comes like a sudden fall
No warning sign, no time at all
One small slip, then nothing holds
Everything cracks, everything folds

It comes like a sudden fall
From something firm to none at all
One lost step, I feel it pull
Down to the point I lose it all

You said “just stay within the line”
Keep every edge in tight design
But I could feel it under skin
A quiet shake you can’t pin

The surface calm, the hidden strain
A subtle drift inside the frame
I tried to lock it, keep it still
But something always breaks your will

And it comes like a sudden fall
No warning sign, no time at all
One small slip, then nothing holds
Everything cracks, everything folds

It comes like a sudden fall
From something firm to none at all
One lost step, I feel it pull
Down to the point I lose it all

Now every sound is slightly off
A fractured line I can’t cut off
The rhythm turns but skips a beat
The ground retreats under my feet

I see the shape but can’t stay in
It bends away, it thins, it spins
What once was fixed begins to crawl
And I prepare for what I call

That quiet drop without a sound
Where up dissolves and there’s no ground
No time to think, no time to stall
Just one clean break—a sudden fall

I gather pieces as they slide
Try to rebuild what won’t align
But every edge rejects the frame
And nothing fits the way it came

Still I move like nothing changed
Repeat the steps, rehearse the range
But deep inside I feel the pull
The coming drop I know too well

It comes like a sudden fall
No warning sign, no time at all
One small slip, then nothing holds
Everything cracks, everything folds

It comes like a sudden fall
From something firm to none at all
One lost step, I feel it pull
Down to the point I lose it all
