[Intro]
There was a hinge in the sky…
No one saw it swing.

[Verse 1]
I used to trust the orbit’s tether
Numbers carved in stone and feather
But the hypotenuse slipped its seam
Now the right angles don’t mean a thing
The protractor’s rusted shut
Every proof contains a cut
I add the sum of who I was
And get a remainder — no, a because

[Chorus]
I am the fracture in the algorithm
The ghost note in the system’s chasm
Tell me the variable — I’ll watch it burn
Certainty was a curve I forgot to return

[Break]

[Verse 2]
Yesterday’s axiom begged for a noose
Today’s truth tastes of strange fruit juice
They sold me a compass that spins toward doubt
North is a mood I can’t map my way out


[Chorus]
I am the fracture in the algorithm
The ghost note in the system’s chasm
Tell me the variable — I’ll watch it burn
Certainty was a curve I forgot to return

[Bridge]
What if time signatures are just scars…
…and key centers are lies we tell the dark?

[Outro]
So I’ll waltz in seventeen-eight
With a grin that’s two bars too late
The clock that counts backwards just laughed and said —
“You finally arrived… but you never left.”
