[Intro — Distant Ritual / Free Jazz Breath] Ha… ya… ha… Ei—oh… ei—oh… Can you name it? Can you frame it? Then I’m already gone. Hu—rah… Hu—rah… ⸻ [Verse 1 — Minimal Techno Pulse] You drew a line then called it real Measured the shape you learned to feel Name on the box genre on the wall If you can classify me you arrived too late at all I left no flag I left no throne Only a trace where thought had grown You saw the footprint called it new But I was never standing there for you ⸻ [Ritual Chant I] Beyond the name Beyond the frame Beyond the eye that came too late Eh-ya, eh-ya Ko-ra, ko-ra No recognition No destination Move— move— move— ⸻ [Pre-Chorus — Jazz Harmony Rising] Observation follows motion Meaning follows form Every map is drawn after somebody crossed the storm You say— “Now I understand.” Ah— That means I’m somewhere else. ⸻ [Chorus — Progressive Trance Lift] I’m a Cognitive Exceeder Past the border of the reader You can recognize the echo but the source is getting deeper No applause can make me real No attention makes me move By the time you see the pathway I have nothing left to prove Cognitive Exceeder Not ahead— outside. ⸻ [Instrumental — Acid Techno × Jazz] Muted trumpet improvisation polyrhythmic ride cymbal 303 acid sequence gradually mutating syncopated electric piano chords Ha—ei—ya… Ha—ei—ya… ⸻ [Verse 2 — Broken Groove] Market says “We finally see you.” Circle says “You made it through.” Funny— Both are looking backward at a shape I already outgrew Trend becomes a language language becomes law Law becomes a museum for the thing nobody saw So build the shrine around my trace I’ll be busy leaving this place ⸻ [Ritual Chant II — Call & Response] WHAT IS KNOWN? —What remained. WHAT IS SEEN? —What was named. WHERE IS NOW? —Not contained. WHO WENT THROUGH? —No one stayed. Ei-yo! Ei-yo! Ra-ka-ta, ra-ka-ta EXCEED EXCEED EXCEED THE NEED TO BE PERCEIVED ⸻ [Bridge — Half-Time / Abstract Jazz] If you praise me I don’t become more true If you miss me I don’t disappear from view Recognition is not creation It is merely late information A shadow saying: Someone passed through here. ⸻ [Build — Progressive Trance] One thought two thoughts three dissolve Questions breed before answers resolve No center no summit no final form Every understanding makes another border born Higher— No. Further— No. Elsewhere. ⸻ [Final Chorus — Full Ritual Trance] I’m a Cognitive Exceeder No believer, no conceder When the world has found the language I have crossed another meter You can celebrate the footprint You can monetize the view But the thing you call the breakthrough is the place I travelled through Cognitive Exceeder Past the known past the praised Not invisible— uncontained. ⸻ [Outro — Chant Dissolves into Saxophone] Eh-ya… eh-ya… Ko-ra… ko-ra… You found the name. You found the frame. You found the trace. … Wrong place. Ha… Already gone.
