Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief

More than just a leitmotif
More chaotic, no relief

I'll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal

Can this 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 want to crash

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand 

Gravity, no escaping
Gravity
Gravity, no escaping
Not for free
I fall down, hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around 

I'll describe the way I feel
You're my new achille's heel

Can this 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 want to crash

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand 

Gravity, no escaping
Gravity
Gravity, no escaping
Not for free
I fall down, hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around 

No escaping, gravity
Gravity
