game changer

all our schemes put under tension
gravity extends a hand
plunged into a strange dimension
space in which we can't expand

ever sinking into rapture
that which may not have a name
unforeseen this sudden capture
changed the very nature of the game

entered your world
into orbit hurled
colliding, colliding
can't unravel
and we travel
colliding, colliding

like a comet out of nowhere
exerts pull against the flow
deeply moved the souls that we bare
we can run or we can grow

this, the weight with which we all cope
every choice must take its toll
fraught with peril, taut the tightrope
revolutions underneath unroll

entered my world
into orbit hurled
colliding, colliding
can't unravel
and we travel
colliding, colliding
