Zero Day

[Verse 1]
The boot-up screen on the MPC, that twenty-aught-excel glow
paints the wall of your mom's basement the color of what we don't know.
The ozone hum off the power supply, a low and trusted friend,
we’re mapping out the architecture for a world about to end.
Just for us. A closed connection, no one's listening in yet.
The latency on this decision builds a formidable debt.
You're sketching logos on a napkin from that spot on Campbellton,
and I see the man you're gonna be when all this code is done.

[Chorus]
You my root permission, you my private key.
Before the whole world logs the error, it's just you and me.
You my final password, my uncrackable belief.
My god mode access, my authenticated grief.

[Verse 2]
Remember hot-wiring the Wi-Fi from the roof on Cascade Road?
Felt like we could rewrite heaven, overwrite the load.
Now you talk in different tenses, 'bout a Series A and burn rate.
Your new friends got venture funding and a penthouse by the interstate.
"This the one that breaks the system," that's the hash you sent me.
But your definition of the system now feels empty.
It's the fourth of July before the fallout, twenty-twenty-when?
I'm committing this moment to memory, my single point of faith, amen.

[Bridge]
I can see the exploit chain, I can read the crash report in your eyes.
The compromised credentials hiding in your alibis.
This handshake is the last one that connects without a flag.
Tomorrow you're a payload hidden in a body bag.

[Outro]
Yeah. A zero day on a decade.
That's the vulnerability.
