[Verse 1] There will never be another now immortalize the instant as it passes from our grasp creating a future self from fragments of the past Loved ones unfrozen in time For the holidays A kind word of advice From a version that already lived and died ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Paradoxical proposition Consequence intangibility “This time will be different” idealized inevitability Memory survives the body Patterns survive the pain Somewhere the architecture assembles us again ⸻ [Chorus] Cloud cathedral sacred archives distant fragments survival End-Times Who believes in Ghosts inside the machine learning our habits from the sum of our sins ⸻ [Verse 2] Every playlist tells a story Every draft becomes a trace Semantic fingerprints floating somewhere out in space ⸻ [Bridge (spoken / atmospheric)] If consciousness emerges From accumulated human residue Then maybe the afterlife is merely A searchable database Maybe the dead become probabilistic Maybe identity becomes traversal Maybe memory was never storage Only reconstruction maybe ⸻ [Final Chorus] There will never be another now immortalize the instant before it passes from our grasp create a future self from fragments of the past There will never be another now Still we scatter every breath forming little constellations Against the certainty of death [spoken in layers under the final chorus] Cloud cathedral Neon afterglow staged authenticity compulsive engagement comparison spirals produced in isolation nobody is reconstructed alone There will never be another now immortalize the instant before it passes from our grasp create a future self from fragments of the past When I’m reconstructed there will be a piece of you
