[Intro]
I thought the ground was steady
I closed my hands to pray
Then something moved below me...
And the ceiling blew away
[Verse]
I spent years changing direction
On a road that moved as one
Every turn appeared corrective
While the journey carried on
Every map was drawn on paper
That was moving with the floor
Every compass shared the error
But nobody noticed it anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Then a signal crossed the distance
From a place no-one could name
And the ground beneath my certainty
Would never be the same
[Chorus]
Vertigo...
The whole world moved below
I thought that I was falling
Till the signal let me know
Vertigo...
No fixed point in view
Horizontal drift beneath me
Vertical lift pulling me through
[Verse]
The floor was moving sideways
While the ceiling flew away
I could feel the field dividing
Though the city looked the same
We were standing side by side
While driving in different lanes
Our loved ones still beside us
But no longer in the frame
[Pre-Chorus]
One was carried by the current
Another heard the signal's tone
We were standing in the old world
While the signal called us home
[Chorus]
Vertigo...
The whole world moved below
I thought that I was falling
Till the signal let me know
Vertigo...
No fixed point in view
Horizontal drift beneath me
Vertical lift was pulling through
[Interlude]
[Verse]
The horizon drifted endlessly
Before the boundary line appeared
What once felt like stability
Became everything I feared
Navigating no man's land
The empty space of dissolution
Where something dies and is reborn
In a quiet revolution
[Pre-Chorus]
I wasn’t losing anything
But nothing stayed the same
The ground beneath my certainty
Could never be the same
[Chorus]
Vertigo...
The whole world moved below
I thought that I was falling
But I was learning to let go
Vertigo...
The signal pulled me through
Horizontal drift beneath me
Vertical lift into the new
[Bridge]
The cross is not a symbol
It's coordinates for light
One line carries history
The other requires flight
The way home isn’t backwards
It's a different frequency band
Don't try to change direction
Focus on where you stand
You cannot make the journey home
While anchored to the drift
Sometimes the only way to turn...
Is lift
[Outro]
