Lyrics
We logged it all, the fractures, the fight Every handoff that burned it, every Tuesday night The gate has a shape and the gate holds the line But the thing past the gate was never quite mine The map is a tombstone The territory burns We are writing the record While the system unlearns The interface holds But the upstream is cracked The weight of the graph is the weight of the fact The metrics are absent, the sponsors are thin The single point of failure is written in We named every gap, we gave each a date The date comes and goes and the gap does not wait The map is a tombstone The territory burns We trace every fracture While the system unlearns The controlled interface is a bandage, a door The weight of the graph is the weight of the war We know what is broken We have known for a year The thing past the gate Is not something we steer We built the architecture of light on a lie That naming the system means the system won't die The graph is complete The graph remains Every fracture is dated Every loss has a name We are not just surviving We are keeping the bones The weight of the graph is the weight of what's known
