Read the lyric sheet

Intro

(A lone, melancholic piano chord echoes in a cavernous reverb. A reversed vocal sample swells and cuts off just as a deep, rumbling 808 note hits. The sound of vinyl crackle and distant city rain.)

Verse 1

Yeah, another night, another warzone in the king-size Readin' battle scars in the silence of your side-eye We build the whole empire up just to watch the bricks fly Two thrones, sittin' back to back under a sick sky You say I'm glitchin', talkin' 'bout a past I can't erase I see the ghosts in the machine, the pixels on your face We throwin' words like poison darts, lookin' for a weak space Then wonder why we feel the sting in this empty place

Chorus

But when you touch me, it’s zero gravity, we floatin' past the pain Washin' all the static out with November rain We’re constellations tangled up, a brilliant, burning chain Yeah, they can hear the thunder, but they never see the reign It’s the static and the stars, the damage and the art The fire in the engine room, the beating of the heart The static and the stars, tearin' it all apart Just to build it back together, a brand new work of art

Verse 2

Remember late-night drives, your head there on my shoulder Now the silence in the whip is gettin' colder and colder Felt like a chosen one, now I just feel a placeholder Every promise that we made feels like a ten-ton boulder You put your firewalls up, I'm hackin' through the code Tryna find the admin rights to the love you showed We’re stuck on overload, ‘bout to just explode Rewritin' history in every single episode

Bridge

(Music strips back to just the melancholic piano and a deep sub-bass pulse. Vocal is close-mic'd, almost a whisper.) But maybe this is what it is… it ain’t the fairy tale It’s the dented armor, the ship that learned to sail Through hurricanes we made ourselves, the trust that felt too frail It’s knowin' all the reasons why we’re supposed to fail… and choosing not to.

Chorus

'Cause when you touch me, it’s zero gravity, we floatin' past the pain Washin' all the static out with November rain We’re constellations tangled up, a brilliant, burning chain Yeah, they can hear the thunder, but they never see the reign It’s the static and the stars, the damage and the art The fire in the engine room, the beating of the heart The static and the stars, tearin' it all apart Just to build it back together, a brand new work of art

Outro

(The beat deconstructs. The 808s fade, leaving the hi-hats ticking like a clock. The piano loop plays, distorted and warm. A vocoder whispers the line...) *Choosing not to...choosing not to...* (The sound of rain returns, then silence.)

01 / The opening

Yeah, another night, another warzone in the king-size Readin' battle scars in the silence of your side-eye

02 / A returning thought

But when you touch me, it’s zero gravity, we floatin' past the pain Washin' all the static out with November rain

03 / The last image

**Key & Harmony**: C# minor. Verses use tense, minor progressions. The chorus lifts with modal interchange, hinting at a brighter relative major, creating a feeling of hopeful release. [cite_start]Bridge uses sparse, jazz-influenced chords (min9, add11) to convey intimacy and complexity. [cite: 18, 85] **Instrumentatio
