[Verse 1] He counts the pulses in the dark Every orbit Every spark Tuning in to trembling space Reading secrets in the stray decay Galaxies breathe in his hands Curved roads in the fabric bend and dance He hears the hum of every sun Still there’s a silence he can’t outrun [Chorus] You’re the one that doesn’t ring true Off-key star in a sky so blue All these waves fall into line But you refract against design I feel you breaking every rule I drew You’re the note that never settles Never smooth In this choir of fields and endless light You’re the one that doesn’t ring right (so right) [Verse 2] He tastes the timing of a flare Counts the quanta in a prayer Gravity leans close to speak Yet one echo stays thin and weak He sifts through ashes of dead light Listens where the void is tight In the static of a dying moon He hears a heart that beats out of tune [Chorus] You’re the one that doesn’t ring true Off-key star in a sky so blue All these waves fall into line But you refract against design I feel you breaking every rule I drew You’re the note that never settles Never smooth In this choir of fields and endless light You’re the one that doesn’t ring right (so right, so wrong) [Bridge] Where are you hiding Little phase-shift soul Slipping through the lattice Through the nodes I know Every orbit closes Every pattern stays But you slip sideways Sideways I’ve mapped every distance Weighed every stone Bent every axis just to bring you home If every star falls back to me in time Why won’t your crooked orbit cross with mine [Chorus] You’re the one that doesn’t ring true Off-key star in a sky so blue All these waves fall into line But you refract against design I feel you breaking every rule I drew You’re the note that never settles Never smooth In this net of gravity and light You’re the one I lose each night [Outro] So I’ll wait in the widening curve Ear to the fabric All I deserve Is one faint shimmer Slipping through A single pulse that doesn’t ring true (oh)
