Look down

Actually… don't

I shift the axis, let the center fold

You're losing grip on everything you hold

I change the gravity, I cut the strings

A calculated drop to see exactly how the pendulum swings

You're looking for a pattern, looking for a tell

I built the architecture of this little spiral hell

No friction in the slide, no way to hit the brakes

I calculate the angle of every breath you take

You're reaching out in the dark just to catch a thread

But it's all in your head

Vertigo, vertigo, spinning in my hand!

Vertigo, vertigo, you don't know where you land!

I'm the only still point, the only solid ground!

Vertigo, vertigo, watch you fall down!

I pull the rug, I watch your pupils dilate

I'm the engineer of every single mistake

You try to focus but the room is a blur

You love the nausea, you love the curve

It's positional pressure, nowhere to move

You're locked in the center of the groove

I tilt the board and watch the pieces slide

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

You're reaching out in the dark just to catch a thread

But it's all in your head

Vertigo, vertigo, spinning in my hand!

Vertigo, vertigo, you don't know where you land!

I'm the only still point, the only solid ground!

Vertigo, vertigo, watch you fall down!

Spinning. Slipping. Falling

I'm the only one calling

Spinning. Slipping

Watch the floor give out

Vertigo, vertigo, spinning in my hand!

Vertigo, vertigo, you don't know where you land!

I'm the only still point, the only solid ground!

Vertigo, vertigo, watch you fall down!

I just want to watch you catch—

Look down

Actually… don't
