Centrifugal Force

we’re spinning but I can’t feel the gravity

what is winning if I can’t see the floor beneath my feet

untethered disbelief

they suggested, hey maybe this is providence

but purgatory appeals to my common sense, could I

be omniscient this one time

I only listen to songs that are trying to unmake me

pull my hair and degrade me

the sky may not be falling today

but my roof has started caving, the foundation is breaking

spin out and give in

centrifugal force ain’t working and won’t listen

forgot to question, I forgot to question

the laws of physics now they’re gonna do me in

consider that I was raised on a fairytale

one I insisted on repeating ad nauseam to myself

could I have had it wrong this whole time

a world held together with few truths

what happens when those truths are removed

when I don’t know the rules

uncertainties got his knee between my thighs

I see stars and I sigh

melancholys got her teeth in my neck

think I forget to breathe
