Lyrics
Verse 1
White room
No windows
Only grids of sky
Lines curve
Angles fold like breathing light
Name tag
Pinned to a coat I’ve never owned
I blink
The hallway multiples in chrome
Pre-Chorus
Every step
A copy
Every copy
Slightly wrong
My shadow walks ahead of me
Already moved on
Chorus
I’m lost in the Space Matrix
Where every choice is a corridor
Worlds bloom in the cracks I miss
Echoes swaying at the edge of form
I reach
And the walls rewrite
Same face
But a different life
I’m held in the Space Matrix
A thousand truths inside one lie
Verse 2
Red moon
Hanging in a cube of glass
Slow rain
Falling upward through the past
Old scars
On a body I don’t recall
Your voice
Coming from a stranger’s jaw
Pre-Chorus
Which version was the promise?
Which future did we burn?
I touch your hand in thirteen frames
You flicker
Then return
Chorus
We’re caught in the Space Matrix
Every heartbeat splits the floor
New doors in the data mist
Stairs spiraling through silent wars
We kiss
And the code refracts
Same love
In a different act
We’re wired to the Space Matrix
A thousand routes to circle back
Bridge
[Drums drop to half-time
Guitars swell in overlapping swells]
Clock hands made of orbit paths
Spin slow
Then tear in half
I fall between the frames
Between the frames of you
City made of mirrored glass
Every window
One more past
I press my face straight through
Straight through the view
Chorus
Still here in the Space Matrix
Maps folding like a wounded star
Old names on my paper wrists
Fade
Then redraw who we are
I stand where the patterns break
Choose one thread for everything
I walk from the Space Matrix
But part of me stays
Still oscillating
Outro
[Wall-of-sound guitars and choirs rise
Then thin to a single clean guitar]
One breath
One step
One door
I don’t look back
