6. CHANGE THE BASE

[Intro — machine pulse, noise fade in] She counts the stars burning on the screen wired constellations talking through the machine [Verse 1 — cold, monotone] An info-magician hands in motion keys are hit love turns blue bluer than the sky around [Verse 2 — rhythmic, clipped] She counts the days cut by distance counts the words that close the gap [Pre-Chorus — spoken, counting] She counts the kisses cheek: one mouth: zero [Chorus — mantra, stomping] One. Zero. One. Zero. One. Zero. One. Zero. [Verse 3 — darker narration] An old man spoke they call him mad he said one night: your love is binary change the system [Chorus — harder, more pressure] One. Zero. One. Zero. One. Zero. One. Zero. [Verse 4 — commanding] You are my number lucky code never two without sweetness you are the signal you are the right one [Drop — impact, distorted bass] One. Zero. One. Zero. Ten. Ten. One. Zero. [Verse 5 — stripped, tense] She counts her gold wants to give it all he says: enough already paid [Verse 6 — ritual exchange] He gives her the silver of his hair she gives him the gold of her mane and all her madness spending without counting giving without price [Chorus — expanded, ritual chant] You are my number lucky code right signal right one [Bridge — break, voice alone] I tell the story I count on you do I count For you ? [Final — royal rise, countdown] Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. [Outro — release, noise tail] Come. Change the base.
