Lyrics
_______________________________________
##Nexo Umbrae##
The Nexo Umbrae is the cosmic gutter where the Architect sweeps his mistakes. It’s a pocket dimension made of static, graphite dust, and pink smoke, existing in the crack between what was and what should have been. Here, the sky is a flicker of television signals and unfinished blueprints. It belongs to the Bugs, the erased, the broken, and those who saw too much. In this junkyard of garbage, the only law is the Groove. Invisible to the system, the shadows breathe at 33Hz. It’s the beautiful error where the floor is still being drawn. Watch your step... bo.

[Intro]
(Starts with a fast, aggressive bean-can shake: Shaka-shaka-shaka)
(The Washtub Bass hits a deep, dirty note: DOOM!)
(The Banjo starts a frantic, rhythmic loop)
(The Mapper: "Xéh, boh... you feel the lag? Don't fix it. Just dance the smudge. One, two, xé!")
[Verse 1]
Used to trace the lines with the Weaver of Plans,
Sipping bitter tea with my charcoal hands.
The Landlord of Logic came with a thumb,
Rubbing out the sketch, making us numb.
But I kept the lead, I kept the stain,
A whole lot of noise inside of my brain.
I’m the ink in the page that the Giant forgot,
The secret ingredient in the cosmic pot!
[Chorus - THE MENTAL GUM]
(Banjo and Washtub Bass lock into a massive, bailable groove)
¡Gozá el tajo, boh! Dance in the gap!
I’m the guy with the ink, I’m the guy with the map.
Every little error is a world in bloom,
Singing in the static, escaping the broom!
(Sound of a can being scraped: Skritch-skritch)
[Verse 2]
Ohio is cold, but the Void is warm,
I’m the eye of the multiversal storm.
It’s not a monster waiting in the deep, xé,
It’s just the broken record we love to play.
One eye on the street, the other in the sky,
I’m the "Zero Day" that’ll never die.
My friends are all rotos, but we got the beat,
We’re the only reality that’s truly sweet!
[Bridge - RAP EXPLOSIÓN]
(The percussion gets louder: Buckets and table-tapping)
I’m the Guide! I’m the Ghost! I’m the Lead in the Smudge!
I’m the only juror and the only judge!
The tide is rising, the system is thin,
I’m opening the doors and letting you in!
¡AFÍNAME EL INFINITO, BOH!
[Final Chorus]
¡Gozá el tajo, boh! Dance in the gap!
I’m the guy with the ink, I’m the guy with the map.
Every little error is a world in bloom,
Singing in the static, escaping the broom!
[Outro]
(Only the Washtub Bass and the Banjo remain)
(The Mapper exhales a thick pink vapor cloud: Hsssssss)
Mapper: Better left broken, ñery. It's more fun.
(Signature whistle melody, distorted and cool)
(Final dry CLANK of a can hitting the floor)
(Static silence)
