Intro
"Order up... destiny’s fried."
Verse 1
I flipped that burger, it whispered my name,
Said, "You are the vessel, now swallow the flame."
I gave it my mustard, my past and my spine,
It swallowed my future, spit fate in a line.
Heat hit the street, made the skyline bend,
A prophet collapsed—"Time’s gonna end!"
Grease on my fingers, I’m trapped in repeat,
Dripping in silence, decay at my feet.
Chorus 1
You betrayed me—ketchup on fire,
stole all my hours, my fractured desire.
Burger and wormholes, your treacherous claim,
I gave you my time, you left me in shame.
Verse 2
A hamster pulled up with a clockwork crown,
Said, "Burger’s a fraud, let’s burn it all down."
But seconds were liquid, they dripped from my hands,
Now I chase down the echoes, they slip through the sand.
The fryer was buzzing, it printed a sign,
"One combo meal left, and the timeline declines."
I ran through the wreckage, a milkshake of screams,
Time was dissolving in quantum machines.
Chorus 2
You remade me—distorted and burned,
stole all my minutes, my hours unturned.
Burger and wormholes, a kingdom of lies,
I reached for tomorrow, it melted like time.
Bridge
Treachery stacked in the pickles and cheese,
time turns to vapor, I drop to my knees.
My rage turns to plasma, my bones start to bend,
you took my forever—I’ll take your goddamn end.
Chorus 3
"You betrayed me—ketchup, it burns!"
stole all my hours, my future unspooled.
burger in black holes, the fabric unwinds,
I gave you my time, but time wasn't mine.
Outro
"So take your sesame... take your black-hole throne..."
I am the nova, I’ll burn on my own.
Burger was king, but its kingdom has died,
in chaos I rise—time’s on my side
