Schematic Fade

[Verse 1]
Scrubbing exif data from a jpeg of Belle Isle,
July 2023, the ghost of your profile.
It's a controlled demolition, a careful, quiet art,
Decommissioning the girders holding up this faulty heart.

[Chorus]
Erase the elevation, let the whole thing fall,
Just a vacant geometry where I used to take your call.
Erase the elevation, yeah, the wireframe is shot,
Clearing out the memory from this abandoned lot.

[Verse 2]
The vinyl seats of the Grand Prix, sweating in the heat,
The Ambassador hummed the resonant frequency of the street.
"This is foundational," you said, a hand right on my knee,
A pencil sketch of a promise you only made to me.

[Bridge]
But the parallax was shifting, the render got corrupt,
A hairline stress fracture that was always pulling up.

[Chorus]
Erase the elevation, let the whole thing fall,
Just a vacant geometry where I used to take your call.
Erase the elevation, yeah, the wireframe is shot,
Clearing out the memory from this abandoned lot.

[Outro]
The blueprint's in the fire, the ash is on the floor,
Just a vacant geometry and nothing more.
