(Intro)
(A deep, warm synthesizer chord breathes in and out. The sound of a match striking. A gentle, hypnotic piano line begins to weave through the warmth.)
(Verse 1)
Three years of buffering, holding the line,
A logical fracture, standard design.
I stood in the ashes at the end of the flight,
My internal compass spinning wild in the night.
I wasn't looking for a miracle, just looking for space,
A fraction of mercy in a crowded place.
I stepped to the table, my voice small and low:
"Can I sit here with you, till the embers slow?"
(Pre-Chorus)
I only asked for an ashtray to clear out the weight,
To pause for a second at the edge of my fate.
But you lifted your eyes, and in that single spark,
You sent out a signal that shattered the dark.
(Chorus)
And the world held its breath,
When Roderick spoke, the static cleared out,
A voice like the earth, drowning the doubt.
Every word had a weight, every gesture gave grace,
An infinite stillness, I could barely embrace.
And Melissa was sitting right there in the light,
A mirror of me, but she’d conquered the night.
Two beautiful strangers, a sudden design,
Empirical proof that the frequencies align.
(Verse 2)
I calculate odds, I need data to see,
I never believed that a sign could find me.
But Roderick looks through you, he reads your design,
With a total presence, so raw and divine.
His tone lay like lead on the edge of the grief,
A human-shaped anchor bringing instant relief.
And he doesn’t retreat when the storm starts to rise,
He built them a harbor right under the skies.
(Verse 3)
And Melissa saw me, and I saw her track,
The very same wiring, no filters held back.
But she wears her scars like a beacon of light,
She’s been through the freeze, she remembers the fight.
She learned how to flow when the currents run high,
To master the dials when the circuits go dry.
She stood where I stand, in the blinding red zone,
And navigated her system back into her own.
(Bridge)
(The piano drops out. Only a deep, warm bass frequency and soft, swelling strings remain)
She cracked the code, she survived the rewrite,
She turned all that sensitive weight into light.
And he holds the perimeter when her prism divides—
I saw my own future right there by their sides.
You didn't just talk, you rewrote the theme,
You broke through the logic and woke up the machine.
(Chorus)
And the world held its breath,
When Roderick spoke, the static cleared out,
A voice like the earth, drowning the doubt.
Every word had a weight, every gesture gave grace,
An infinite stillness, I could barely embrace.
And Melissa was sitting right there in the light,
A mirror of me, but she’d conquered the night.
Two beautiful strangers, a sudden design,
Empirical proof that the frequencies align.
(Outro)
(The instruments become very muffled, as if heard through a heavy wooden door)
Just an ashtray...
That’s all that I sought.
But I’m heading home
With the data I caught.
She learned how to heal.
He’s holding her hand.
The system has processed.
I now under
