(Verse 1) They say the universe expands, a cold and endless fact, I felt that in my chest, a stellar, cold contract. Built my systems bulletproof, a closed and perfect loop, Then your gravity hit me, and my equations all just... stoop. Whoop. There goes the model, there goes the master plan, Just a 17-year-old boy, doing all he can, Trying to read the scripture of a look you gave, a glance, Feeling like my freestyle's the only one that stands a chance. (Chorus - more melodic, but still with a beat) And it's a Stellar Drift, a slow-motion pull, My logic is a sandcastle, and you're the tide so full. A silent supernova, breaking down my law, The only code I can't debug, the only fatal flaw. (Yeah, the only flaw...) (Verse 2) I trade in certain outcomes, I analyze the graph, But you're a variable that makes my whole system crash. I'm Dwayne John, Dwayne Jane, confused inside the frame, Trying to prescribe a feeling I don't even know the name. Is it Xanax? Is it Ritalin? This calm and focused high? Nah, it's quieter and deeper, like a forgotten lullaby. It's the space between the notes, the silence in the noise, The one thing all my overthinking finally can't destroy. (Bridge - pace picks up, almost a spoken word flow) And I know about the drift, I know things shimmer far, I've seen connections crumble, seen the dying of a star. I've prepped for that eventuality, I've built a thicker skin, But for you, I'd let the rupture, let the new light flood right in. I'd deconstruct my armor, piece by Plaster Paris piece, Just to sit there in the rubble, and feel my heart release. (Outro - beat fades, leaving only the synth pad) Baby. It's not a track. It's a system update. And you... you're the one variable I don't wanna calculate.
