Push the Sky
Hypnotic hip-hop song inspired by a bad dream of a massive object from space. Features pulsing bass, dusty drums, haunting choir, tremolo keys, warped synth leads, and deep sub-bass for a tense, visionary atmosphere.
Lyrics
[Verse]
Heavy silence hangs above the sleeping city street
The pavement shivers underneath my unsteady feet
I look up where the clouds have torn a jagged hole
A monolith is manifest to swallow up my soul
No fire in its wake just a cold and hollow weight
A celestial intruder swinging wide the iron gate
It is larger than the memory of every mountain range
The color of a dying star or something twice as strange
I feel the static crawling up the marrow of my spine
The clock is ticking backward at the finish of the line
It does not make a sound as it occupies the air
A blind and faceless titan with a transcendental stare
[Chorus]
The sky is coming down in a single shade of grey
There is nowhere left to hide and no words left to pray
The gravity is bending like a bow about to break
I am staring at the ending while I struggle to awake
It is leaning on the world with a pressure so immense
A vision made of iron in the future imperfect tense
[Chorus]
The sky is coming down in a single shade of grey
There is nowhere left to hide and no words left to pray
The gravity is bending like a bow about to break
I am staring at the ending while I struggle to awake
It is leaning on the world with a pressure so immense
A vision made of iron in the future imperfect tense
[Bridge]
The horizon is collapsing in a slow motion crawl
Writing ancient mathematics on the surface of the wall
I am reaching for the light but the darkness has a grip
Like a sailor on the railing of a sinking ocean ship
The geometry is wrong and the atmosphere is thin
Where the outer space ends is where the terror must begin
It is drifting through the rafters of my subconscious mind
Leaving every little earthly worry far away behind
[Verse]
The buildings look like splinters in the shadow of the mass
The future is a mirror shattered into jagged glass
I try to scream but oxygen is turning into stone
I am standing in the epicenter utterly alone
A massive silhouette eclipsing every single dream
The universe is tearing at the center of the seam
It has no name or number but I know it knows my name
A cold and cosmic furnace with a black and frozen flame
Then the floor begins to vanish and I start to drift away
Into the gargantuan embrace of the end of day
[Chorus]
The sky is coming down in a single shade of grey
There is nowhere left to hide and no words left to pray
The gravity is bending like a bow about to break
I am staring at the ending while I struggle to awake
It is leaning on the world with a pressure so immense
A vision made of iron in the future imperfect tense
[Chorus]
The sky is coming down in a single shade of grey
There is nowhere left to hide and no words left to pray
The gravity is bending like a bow about to break
I am staring at the ending while I struggle to awake
It is leaning on the world with a pressure so immense
A vision made of iron in the future imperfect tense
