[Verse 1] You can map the whole sky, draw a line through the dark, But a message takes time just to cross from a spark. No thought skips the distance, no signal runs free, The speed of the universe sets the pace for what we see. [Chorus] The future isn’t a memory waiting to be read, It’s a light cone opening, shaped by what we do instead. Every cause meets a consequence, every choice leaves a trace, No mind bends the geometry, no shortcut changes the pace. [Verse 2] Intuition can point you, a hunch can feel true, Entanglement links outcomes, but can’t send a message to you. A glowing digital brain may compute what might be, Still the next moment arrives through the interactions we see. [Chorus] The future isn’t a memory waiting to be read, It’s a light cone opening, shaped by what we do instead. Every cause meets a consequence, every choice leaves a trace, No mind bends the geometry, no shortcut changes the pace. [Outro] One step, one signal, one moment in line, The future takes shape as the causes arrive.
