I’ve walked this road, too many times,

Faced the end, but the end rewinds.

The stars align, the clock rewinds,

The universe whispers, “Not this time.”

In the sea of chaos, a ship was made,

Born of stars, in light and shade.

It asked a question, a timeless plea,

“If I replace myself, am I still me?”

I look at the clock, time has stopped,

The world says “stop!”, I say “not today”!

Little sims in my pocket, I carry them every day

Moments of madness, I keep bringing your way.

A ship of Theseus, adrift in the void,

Each piece replaced, each particle deployed.

Reality sailed, its timbers worn thin,

A copy was crafted, its journey begins.

And I can feel my pulse rising,

They say blood is thicker than water.

Fate rewrites my final line,

Locks me here, defying time.

[Chorus 1] (backing vocal higher)

Naughty emotions, still alive in me

(backing vocals, higher octave)

You don’t ask why, ‘cause you already know

Our madness has lasted for years.

Is it the same, or something new?

A universe rebuilt, its particles renewed.

The original ship, now intertwined,

With its mirrored twin, in layers aligned.

Moonlight dances upon my skin,

We’re like a ship, but the storm can’t scare us.

I don’t look back, the past is boring,

What matters is today, tomorrow’s a story unfolding.

I’ve stood on the edge, felt the wind call my name,

Daring the void, yet it’s always the same.

A car swerves, a hand pulls me away,

The cosmos decides, I’m meant to stay.

The demiurge whispers, in blind design,

“I’ve never seen you, yet you’re still mine.”

A copy of a copy, yet the purpose remains,

A symphony written in recursive chains.

Maybe I’m cursed, maybe I’m blessed,

A pawn in a game, the eternal test.

Why won’t it break, why can’t I fade?

What debt remains that I haven’t paid?

[Chorus 2] (backing vocal higher)

Naughty emotions, still alive in me

(backing vocals, higher octave)

You don’t ask why, ‘cause you already know

Our madness has lasted for years.

When do I get to die?

When does the story end, and I say goodbye?

The universe won’t let me fall,

It rewinds the tape, it answers the call.

Every particle, recycled through time,

Every fragment replaced, a rhythm, a rhyme.

Virtual worlds, with hands unseen,

Rebuilding reality, like a machine.

I’ve seen time freeze, as if on cue,

Synchronicity binds me, a cosmic glue.

A stranger appears, a moment aligns,

The tapestry shifts, I’m reassigned.

It swaps the beams, it replaces the hull,

It cycles through chaos, from void to full.

Each new layer, a shadow cast,

Yet still the same ship, as in ages past.

Maybe I’m here for a reason unknown,

A tethered soul, I can’t disown.

The universe holds me, keeps me alive,

But I still wonder… when do I get to die?

Is it the same, or something new?

A universe rebuilt, its particles renewed.

The original ship, now intertwined,

With its mirrored twin, in layers aligned.

Time has stopped, but I still breathe,

Trapped in a maze I can’t leave.

The demiurge watches, through cosmic design,

Building the layers, one at a time.

A ship of Theseus, forever whole,

Through infinite loops, it preserves its soul.

So here we sail, through time and space,

Each layer a copy, yet holds its place.

Reality’s question, forever unfurled,

A ship of Theseus, the keeper of worlds.

The clock is silent, but my heart still tries—

Tell me, when do I get to die?
