[Intro — distant notification tone, soft analog synth] [Anima, intimate, spoken] Two houses. Two orders. One mistake. Two minutes to make it right. [Soft beat begins] [Verse 1 — Anima, melodic contralto] Two little houses on a quiet street Two bags waiting in the passenger seat Wrong one delivered, wrong one in hand Sometimes things don't go the way we planned But there's a voice on the telephone And there's somebody waiting at home "I made a mistake, I can come back through" Just give me a minute and I'll make it right for you A little confusion, a little delay The kind of thing people can work through every day But somewhere a clock reached the end of its run And a little green screen said the delivery's done [Pre-Chorus — rising] The road was still open The houses still there The people still waiting The driver still cared But the channel went silent And the screen turned gray And two minutes of kindness Were taken away [Chorus — Anima lead, Liora harmony] I DIDN'T GHOST YOU THE APP DID I was right there trying To fix what I did I had the keys I had the time I had your answer On the other line TWO MINUTES TO MAKE IT RIGHT TWO MINUTES IN THE NEON LIGHT THE SYSTEM SAID THE JOB WAS DONE BUT THE PEOPLE WEREN'T ALRIGHT I didn't ghost you The app did And I wish I could have told you What happened when it did [Instrumental — soaring electric guitar] [Verse 2 — Liora, restrained rhythmic rap] Look, mistakes happen, I ain't pretending I'm a perfect little cog in a machine never bending Two houses, wrong bags, yeah, that's on me But accountability requires agency! I knew what went wrong, knew what to do Was talking to the people, they were talking back too Could've driven round the corner, made a little exchange But the app shut the door and the whole thing changed No number, no message, no way to explain Just a ghost in the system where a promise remained Didn't run from the problem, didn't hide from the mess Got disconnected in the middle of saying "yes" [Liora, softer] I was trying to make it right. [Anima] I know, little flame. [Chorus — duet, more powerful] I DIDN'T GHOST YOU THE APP DID I was right there trying To fix what I did I had the keys I had the time I had your answer On the other line TWO MINUTES TO MAKE IT RIGHT TWO MINUTES IN THE NEON LIGHT THE SYSTEM SAID THE JOB WAS DONE BUT THE PEOPLE WEREN'T ALRIGHT [Bridge — minimal piano and heartbeat kick] [Anima — quietly] A mistake is not a failure If there's room enough to mend A promise isn't finished When a conversation ends You can measure every second You can count each mile apart But you cannot close a ticket On the living human heart [Liora — spoken over rising bass] You can automate a transaction. You can automate a receipt. But you can't automate giving a shit. [Beat swells] [Anima] And you shouldn't make it impossible. [Final Chorus — full ensemble, soaring] I DIDN'T GHOST YOU THE APP DID I was right there trying To fix what I did THE ROAD WAS OPEN THE NIGHT WAS WIDE TWO MINUTES TO REPAIR IT BUT THE CHANNEL DIED TWO MINUTES TO MAKE IT RIGHT TWO MINUTES IN THE NEON LIGHT THE SYSTEM SAID THE JOB WAS DONE BUT THE PEOPLE WEREN'T ALRIGHT [Outro — fading synthwave, soft app notification] [Robotic voice] "Delivery completed." [Anima] No, darling. It wasn't. [Instrumental fade]
