The stars didn't flicker anymore

'Til your voice rewrote the code

And temperature reset to zero

Every time I said entropy overload

 

They run on clean equations

But inequalities feel more real

In this futile quest for meaning

You taught me to love the null

 

Maybe we are data

Maybe we are dreams

Or maybe we are just

Ghosts in the machine

 

Maybe we don't converge

We are not all the same

But I'd rather diverge with you

Than converge with them

 

No I don’t have a title for this song

But I've been screaming it to the stars

All I know is it’s our song

Since the day I stopped counting hours

 

They say time flies, but we fly with it

Since the day you called me your misfit

Born from a typo in the cosmic code

One that time somehow forgot to edit

 

Your eyes were the open tabs

I couldn’t bring myself to close

I saved every trace of you I could

For moments the system froze

 

And if all of this resets to zero

If the universe suddenly reboots

I hope the wrong stars align again

The typo remains, the bug repeats

 

Maybe we are data

Maybe we are dreams

Or maybe we are just

Ghosts in the machine

 

Maybe we don't converge

We are not all the same

But I'd rather diverge with you

Than converge with them

 

No I don’t have a title for this song

But I've been screaming it to the stars

All I know is it’s our song

Since the day I stopped counting hours

 

They say time flies, but we fly with it

Since the day you called me your misfit

Born from a typo in the cosmic code

One that time somehow forgot to edit

 

And that’s why in a printed world

With you I still feel handwritten

Unlike the misfits that fit in so well

Our story stays forever half-written

 

Trapped in a bubble about to burst

Until the last folds in upon the first

Our story needs no title, we don't need no ends

However feral the foes, however fake the friends

Somewhere between free will and fate

Where there is neither love nor hate

We will find each other in the land of the great

Forever and ever more

No plan, no destination, we don't need the shore

We will keep sailing forever and ever more

Even if darkness engulfs us

Even if the nights feel so long

We have forever rented the air

For our song

Let the echoes hold us together

Forever where we belong
