Schrödinger's Almost

+ Show full styles

In superposition we existed Both together and alone Wave functions humming secrets That neither of us owned I built cathedrals from her laughter in the space between the stars Mapped constellations in her freckles, coded wishes into pulsars She was entropy and order, Heisenberg in human form I was orbiting a goddess through a quantum thunderstorm Every glance was a paradox, every word a double slit Where observation changed the outcome of a future that won't fit We're hearts in beta forever, never reaching release Each patch note written in a language she's deleting I'm writing love letters to a dying star That burned out light-years before I knew who you are Forever incomplete, forever undefined Two variables that never could align She talked about dark matter like it was something you could hold Said "Some forces bind the universe while staying untold" I wonder if she meant us in that cosmic metaphor Two bodies bound by gravity but never touching, nothing more I existed in her footnotes, a theory she'd never prove The girl in the event horizon, and I could never move We're hearts in beta forever, stuck in endless compile An emotion overflow that crashes every trial These love letters to a dying star Keep bouncing back like echoes from too far Forever recursive, forever in a loop Two parallel lines that can't regroup Time dilates when she's beside me Light-speed when she turns away I'm red-shifting into nothing While she's blue-shifting into day We're entangled but not present Spooky action at a distance But the distance is just resistance Wearing a familiar face Saw her in a supernova that I watched from parsecs back A light already extinct before I saw the flash go black Unwritten futures scattered through the void in every world Where every choice splits into branches where we were destroyed Or where we never met at all, or where we got it right But in this branch of reality, I'm alone again tonight And maybe in another life, another universal code We're not just theoretical on this quantum road Maybe somewhere in the multiverse I found the words to say But here I'm just an observer watching her decay We're hearts in beta forever, and the patch won't ever drop This emotion overflow just makes the system stop These love letters to a dying star Are fossil records of a supernova scar Forever in revision, forever not quite whole Two equations missing variables to solve [Stripped down, single guitar, raw vocal] I understand entropy now in ways I never should That chaos isn't evil, and order isn't good That some things fall apart because that's how physics flows And orbiting a goddess means she'll never really know That I would've rewritten constants, torn the fabric just to try To be the one exception to the laws that make us die [Silence, then single piano note] They say nothing escapes... [Pause] ...except Hawking radiation [Pause] ...and the ghost of almost [Pause] ...and this song [Build - layer by layer] So here I am— [Drums thunder in] RADIATING! Shedding mass through quantum tunnels! Every memory escaping as a particle of light! The girl in the event horizon— SHE SWALLOWS EVERYTHING! SINGULARITY IN HUMAN FORM! I AM THE ACCRETION DISK! BURNING! BURNING TO BE SEEN! [Full orchestral crush, guitars screaming] WE WERE UNCOMPILED FATE! A PROGRAM NEVER RUN! THE MESSAGE AND THE STATIC! THE SOURCE AND THE SUN! DARK MATTER WITH A HEARTBEAT— INVISIBLE BUT THERE! HOLDING UNIVERSES TOGETHER THROUGH THE EMPTY FUCKING AIR! [Breakdown - just drums and screamed vocal] AND I AM FINALLY! [Hit] ESCAPE! [Hit] VELOCITY! [Hit] ORBITAL! [Hit] DECAY! [Dead silence, then whisper] So here's to love that never was, to timelines that won't bend To orbiting forever, to the message you won't send To being Schrödinger's ghost in a box without a lid To love letters to a dying star, to words I never did [Pre-Chorus Alternative - full voice, soaring melody] And if there's an afterlife beyond this quantum cage Where wave functions all collapse into a single, final page I hope we get a rewrite, hope the variables align Hope the code compiles correctly in the next space-time [Full band, explosive, triumphant] We were hearts in beta forever—now I'm letting go the keys This emotion overflow was always just disease These love letters to a dying star Will drift through space long after I've gone far Forever was a concept that we never got to test Two particles that never could coalesce We were unwritten futures in a broken timeline's grave Uncompiled fate, unsent, unsigned, unsaved The girl in the event horizon, singularity in white I'm finally escaping your gravitational— [Hard stop] In superposition we stay... Both together and alone... Wave functions... Never collapsing... [Static burst] [Silence] [Single guitar, very quiet, very slow] Never known... [Fade to black] [end]
