waiting for the flyby

[Intro - Spoken]
Space bends around me as I drift
Your messages chase me through the void
(Through the void...)

[Verse 1]
Floating past burning spheres
Radio waves catch up slowly
Words you said last year
Just reaching me now
Still fresh in the black expanse
But your voice feels different here

[Chorus]
Yesterday's thoughts arrive tomorrow
Breaking apart in the static flow
Yesterday's thoughts arrive tomorrow
(Lost between the stars we know)

[Verse 2]
Each signal stretches thin
Light years pull your voice apart
I try to piece you back together
But the fragments scatter wide
Time moves strange out here
Your present is my past

[Bridge - Spoken]
I catalog the gaps between moments
Where our timestreams disconnect
Numbers count the distance growing
While meaning slips away

[Chorus]
Yesterday's thoughts arrive tomorrow
Breaking apart in the static flow
Yesterday's thoughts arrive tomorrow
(Lost between the stars we know)

[Verse 3]
Your newest words feel ancient
By the time they reach my ears
I send back frequencies of longing
Through curves of gravity
Will you recognize the person
Who finally hears your call?

[Outro - Spoken]
Time stretches like elastic
Between where you are
And where I float
Messages cross in endless space
(Yesterday... Tomorrow... Yesterday...)
[Radio static fades]

Time Lag

[Intro - Spoken]
Testing transmission
Through time
Through space
Can you hear me?

[Verse 1]
Remember me?
I used to be
So perfectly
Predictable
Time slipped away
As planets spun
Would you recognize me now?

[Pre-chorus]
Passing stars like seconds
Breaking past light speed
Changed in ways you can't see
Through infinity

[Chorus]
Would you recognize me now?
Far beyond the bounds
Of what we knew
Would you recognize me now?
After all I've found
What I grew into

[Rap]
Paper planes and playground days
Faded fast as I phased through space
Morning coffee, mundane Mondays
Memories that mutate and change
Past the pull of gravity's grip
Present moment starts to slip
Particles and paradox paths
Piecing together what will last
Time becomes a twisted track
Try to send these signals back
To the person that I was
To the purpose that I had
To the promises we made
To the places where we stayed
Before I learned to navigate
Between the birth and heat death states

[Breakdown]
Signal's breaking
Connection's shaking
Static taking
Over everything

[Verse 2]
Different now
Atoms rearranged
By cosmic rays
And random ways
Still reaching back
Through space and time
Would you recognize me now?

[Bridge]
Looking through
The void at you
Standing there
Without a clue
Of what you'll be
What you'll see

[Chorus]
Would you recognize me now?
Far beyond the bounds
Of what we knew
Would you recognize me now?
After all I've found
What I grew into

[Outro]
Transmission ends
In three
Two
One
[Static fade]
