[Verse 1]
You say
The concept is coming over for coffee
Brings its own cup
Expects my kitchen to negate itself

I wash the same plate
Thesis
Rinse
Antithesis
Drip
Synthesis
Still greasy

History limps past the window
Carrying yesterday’s headlines
Folded into paper cranes
That keep crashing into the floor

[Chorus]
I keep climbing these glass staircases
Watch them curl back into my feet
Every step just rewrites the basement
Every fall sounds almost like belief

I kiss the edges of your system
Till the margins start to bleed
If the Absolute is just this stutter
Then let the fracture speak through me

[Verse 2]
You draw a circle
Call it freedom
Then grade my orbit
On obedience to the curve

Spirit in track pants
Late to the seminar again
Scrolling through revolutions
For something out of beta

Your “we” feels heavy
Like wet wool on my tongue
So I slip into “maybe”
Wear it like borrowed smoke

[Chorus]
I keep climbing these glass staircases
Watch them curl back into my feet
Every step just rewrites the basement
Every fall sounds almost like belief

I kiss the edges of your system
Till the margins start to bleed
If the Absolute is just this stutter
Then let the fracture speak through me

[Bridge]
Tell me
Who gets to be the dialectic
And who is drafted as the dirt

Who’s the statue in your lecture
Who’s the chalk dust on your shirt

I found your Logic in the discount bin
Dog-eared
Damp
Half price
Scribbled in the margin
Someone wrote
“what if the wound was right?”

[Chorus]
I keep climbing these glass staircases
Watch them curl back into my feet
Every step just rewrites the basement
Every fall sounds almost like belief

I kiss the edges of your system
Till the margins start to bleed
If the Absolute is just this stutter
Then let the fracture speak through me (through me)

[Outro]
So here’s your Geist
Wearing borrowed sneakers
Tripping on its own grand narrative

Here’s my laugh
Small
Cracked
Sideways
A footnote that refuses to resolve
