My brain’s a stovetop coil—slow glow, a spiral that remembers fire. Sweat beads orbit like tiny planets, each one a wet yes. Above, the signal blooms—parentheses of hum— an antenna for the why in me. Tongue out: the white flag of thought, tasting the world before I think it. Mind over matter? My mind is matter, overheated, salted with static. I am a bell with a mouth. I ring. I drip. I log into breath and forget my name. The halo pings again; the spinner turns inside my skull— loading light, one drop at a time.
Lyrics
My brain is a coil, slow glow. A spiral remembers fire. Sweat beads orbit, tiny planets. Each drop says yes. The signal blooms, soft hum. An antenna finds the why. Tongue out, white flag raised. I taste the world first. load me slow let me glow I burn below load me slow Mind meets matter, overheated. Salted with static, I breathe. I am a bell with a mouth. I ring, I drip. I log into breath, lose name. The halo pings again. A spinner turns in my skull. Loading light, drop by drop. load me slow let me glow I burn below load me slow I chase the yes inside heat. Say I am here while I load. load me slow let me glow I burn below load me slow
