[Spoken Word]
Feedback (initiated)
Threshold (activated)
The loop (closed)
[Verse 1]
A spark unseen
(In slow rotation)
A shift between
(State and station)
What once absorbed
(Now amplifies)
What once was stored
(Does destabilize)
[Pre-Chorus – Rising Tension]
Incremental
(Became abrupt)
Continental
(… wide disrupt)
The baseline moved
(Beyond debate)
The curve approved
(A different fate)
[Chorus]
The loop closed
(Self-reinforcing)
Pathway froze
(No reversing)
Heat imposed
(System coercing)
Truth disclosed
(Nonlinear forcing)
Circulation split
(Atmospheric fracture)
Carbon lit
(Feedback factor)
[Verse 2]
Forest to flame
(Sink to source)
Ocean the same
(Current off course)
Ice to sea
(Albedo gone)
Methane freed
(Ancient dawn)
A tipping line
(Crossed in stride)
Design by design
(Domino tide)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
(For what it’s worth)
It wasn’t sudden
(For what it’s worth)
It was compounding
Cause became effect
(Effect became cause)
Applause for growth
(Ignored the laws)
[Chorus – Expanded, Harmonized]
The loop closed
(Global cascade)
Balance opposed
(Equilibrium betrayed)
Signals rose
(Pattern displayed)
Systems exposed
(Structures swayed)
Acceleration squared
(Compounded rate)
Prepared?
(Too late?)
[Extended Jam – Controlled Chaos]
[Outro – Sparse, Reflective]
The loop closed
(Not with a sound)
But with a slope
(Steeper ground)
Broader scope
For what it’s worth
(The data showed)
North flew south
South pushed north
The loop closed.
