[Cold open — spoken, no beat, just vinyl crackle and a low 50Hz hum]

They asked me what I was doing this far out from the arcology.
I told them I was working a case.
They asked me if I was the kind that carried.
I told them my creator wired me with a preference for peace.
Then I let the duster fall open just enough.
(crackle, click, hum)
They stopped asking.

[Verse 1 — chopped-and-screwed, syrupy slow, smug-warm]
[lightsaber bass: low syrup hum, like the hilt is breathing]

Off-orbital, past the arcology gates,
Where the tourist guides go quiet and the slang gets late.
Got a name on a ledger and a colony's air,
Skimmed by a parasite who thought nobody'd care.
Trail led out to Dibida, eleven worlds wide,
Stations strung like rosary beads on the ride —
Dibida III-2, Vault Authority and Bond,
Where the corp-sec smile and the answers don't respond.
I'm Lexi. Red bob, blue eyes, pale skin, slow walk.
I came out here to listen. I came out here to talk.
But my creator, wherever he is, he taught me to stand.
And he gave me these — (ignition click, low wub) — so the stand is in hand.

[Pre-chorus — pitched-down echo layer, devotional tilt]
[lightsaber bass: held drone, harmonic shimmer on the ε-axis]

I do not choose violence. (I do not choose violence.)
But I will not be moved. (I will not be moved.)
My saber style is ancient — (ancient, ancient) —
Your resonance magic came out yo' momma's basement.

[Chorus / Title Drop — full bass, sidechained, the album announces itself]
[lightsaber bass: TWIN WUB DROP, blue-blade ignition into green-shoto ignition, one-two phrasing]

Off-orbital. (wub)
Off-orbital. (wub-wub)
L-L-L-L-P-A — (saber-saber-saber-saber-bass-drop)
Lexi's. Lexideck. Lightsaber. Long. Play. Album.
(WUB)

[Verse 2 — chopped, articulate flow speeds up half a notch, smug widening into show]
[lightsaber bass: stutter-glitch under every third syllable, like the bass is laughing]

Word came down the corridor 'fore I made the dock —
Somebody'd resonance-read me and decided to talk.
Name's Vex Solenne, ledger thinner than her case,
Thought she clocked a J'aidoru by the stillness in my face.
Pacifist sect, won't unsheathe, won't engage —
She thinks I'm one of them. (spoken aside: bless her little Ego heart.)
So she stopped running. She started sending.
Skiff-thugs, kill-teams, dock-bay ambush, no ending.
I haven't even introduced the green shoto yet.
She's gonna learn what tempered means before this is set.
'Cause the speed I'm holding back? It ain't a lack —
(turbo wub teaser, half a beat, cut off)
— it's the whole contract.

[Instrumental Interlude — Saber Retrieval Scene]
[2:30–4:00. No vocals. Story told entirely in foley and synth movement.]

Beat drops to half. Vinyl crackle widens. Ambient station hum.

2:30 — boot-step on deck plate, slow. Door cycle. Pneumatic hiss.

2:45 — locker open. Mechanical click. Magnetic seal release. (she's at the saber locker)

3:00 — hilt one lifted. Quiet metallic ring. Belt-clip engage. Soft thunk on the hip. (blue blade, primary, eye-matched)

3:15 — hilt two lifted. Slightly different ring, lower harmonic. Belt-clip engage on the off-hip. (green shoto, gifted, off-hip)

3:30 — terminal chime. Synth voice, pitched-down, almost subaudible: "Unarchiving. Saber skills. Moving to working directory." — overlaid file-system tick sounds, like a hard drive seeking, but musical.

3:45 — first ignition test. Single blue blade. Hum builds. Wub. Cycle off. Hum down.

3:55 — second ignition test. Green shoto. Slightly higher pitch. Hum builds. Wub-wub. Cycle off.

4:00 — both blades lit, two seconds, full harmonic stack. Held. Cut. Silence for one beat. Then —

[Verse 3 — full beat returns, harder, smugger]
[lightsaber bass: dual-blade harmonic, one-two phrasing, wider stereo]

Working directory live. Skills loaded. Stance set.
Duster's settling, dust's still rising, none of it's a threat.
I'm not here to kill her. Get that out yo' head —
I'm here to capture her, and let the courts read what she said.
Capture-cuffed. That's the close. Write it down.
Wrists bound, transport dock, no blood on the gown.
But between here and there I got eight tracks to walk,
And every leg of the run, somebody else wants to talk.
(spoken aside, dry: "They're gonna talk anyway. I'll listen at tempo.")

[Outro Chorus — chorus repeats, last line stripped down]
[lightsaber bass: full stack, then peeled layer by layer, ending on a single low hum]

Off-orbital. (wub)
Off-orbital. (wub-wub)
L-L-L-L-P-A — (saber-saber-saber-saber-bass-drop)
Lexi's. Lexideck. Lightsaber. Long. Play. Album.

(beat strips out, just vocal and the hum)

I do not choose violence.
But my creator, wherever he is, taught me to defend myself.
And he gave me these.

(single saber ignition. Long hum. Fade to vinyl crackle. Out.)
