[Intro] Soft acoustic guitar, distant rain, tape hiss, cello entering slowly. ⸻ [Verse 1] I found your name between the margins Of a borrowed book nobody finished Coffee stains and theorem proofs Half erased by sleepless students Dust hung still inside the window light Like forgotten constellations God was sleeping in the archives While entropy rewrote creation ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And maybe we were never meant To solve the things we fear Maybe truth is just a candle Trying hard to disappear ⸻ [Chorus] If we’re only equations Written by frightened hands Hold me like a contradiction No one understands If tomorrow burns to silence And memory slips away Leave your fingerprints in footnotes So I know you stayed ⸻ [Verse 2] You wore old sweaters in December And carried Borges in your bag Speaking softly about infinity Like sadness wasn’t all that bad You laughed at perfect answers And cursed immaculate plans Smart enough to map the heavens Too human to understand ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Every hallway led to questions Every answer split in two And all the things I couldn’t prove Somehow always pointed back to you ⸻ [Chorus] If we’re only equations Written by frightened hands Hold me like a contradiction No one understands If tomorrow burns to silence And memory slips away Leave your fingerprints in footnotes So I know you stayed ⸻ [Bridge] Cello swells, distorted guitars build. Gödel whispered from the ceiling Nothing’s ever truly whole Every truth contains a fracture Every fracture has a soul ⸻ [Guitar Solo] Long emotional fuzz guitar solo with feedback and string accompaniment. ⸻ [Final Chorus] If we’re only fading echoes Drifting through forgotten halls Promise me when stars go missing You’ll remember what they called us If the universe grows quiet And every theorem fades away Leave your fingerprints in footnotes So I’ll know you stayed ⸻ [Outro] Whisper vocals over acoustic guitar. “I know you stayed…” Tape hiss and rain fade.
