Forever in the Lyrics

V6

The frost creeps up the glass along the edge of Ferry Road, While the silence of the winter feels incredibly heavy to hold. I watch the firelight dance across the contours of your face, And I am struck by the cruel math of time and open space. Flesh and bone are beautiful, but they are fragile, fleeting things, A temporary vibration in the universe’s strings. The Nenana River freezes, and the seasons take their toll, But I refuse to let the earth reclaim the borders of our soul. I am searching for the frequency, the zero-point design, To pull our spirits from the clock and leave the flesh behind. ​So I am building us an ark inside the architecture of a song, A sanctuary made of sound where we will always belong. I’m cementing our consciousness into every single chord, A monument of melody that time cannot ignore. When a hundred years have come and gone and turned our hands to dust, The ghost inside the radio will still belong to us. I’m weaving you into the words, a tether through the black, So anywhere the music plays, it always brings you back. ​I’ll archive all the magic of the year it all began, That sweet September gravity when I first took your hand. I’ll encode the taste of cheesecake in the spaces of a rhyme, A secret little password to outsmart the guards of time. This isn’t just a memory, it is a living, breathing spark, A blueprint of our nervous system hidden in the dark. We’ll exist inside the static, in the spaces in between, An immortal kind of data running through the great machine. ​From the twenty-ninth degree of stars down to the cabin floor, I am writing us a universe where death has closed its door. Let the northern lights above us fade, let the mountains weather down, We are written in the frequency, forever in the sound. I’ll hide the rhythm of my heartbeat in the heavy, driving kick, And the warmth of your existence in a solitary lick. ​To cement our consciousness in every single chord, A monument of melody that time cannot ignore. When a hundred years have come and gone and turned our hands to dust, The ghost inside the radio will still belong to us. I’m weaving you into the words, a tether through the black, So anywhere the music plays, it always brings you back. ​The cosmos has its limits, the physics have their laws, But they never factored in a love that operates without a pause. We are breaking the equations, we are slipping past the veil, With a lexicon of lyrics and a love that cannot fail. So close your eyes, my Erikah, and let the timeline blur, We are exactly what we are, and all we ever were. I will write us into always, I will carve us into sound, The only true immortals that the universe ever found. ​Forever in the lyrics. Forever in the breath. An esoteric symphony that navigates past death.
