[Intro] (upright bass solo, walking slow, no piano) (piano enters with right hand improvised melody, left hand sparse chords) [Verse 1] (voice low, entering over bass and piano) The model ran in under an hour What used to take a day The projection came back faster But the outcome stayed the same [Verse 2] (space between lines, piano improvises between vocal phrases) Someone somewhere watching the numbers I'm here watching them too Not surprised by what they're showing Just faster knowing what we knew [Chorus] (soft but clear, grounded warmth) Climate Model That's the speed Still showing what it shows Still running true Climate Model Nothing changes faster Just the data and the silence Still projecting through [Verse 3] (voice near speaking, piano answers each line) Run came fast… and held the same A projection on the screen… a number with a name I let the model… run how it runs Not every speed… changes what comes [Outro] (almost silent, piano fades to single notes) Still projecting now… soft and plain Same faster knowing… again and again Let the model settle… let the run start Still projecting quietly… still.
