“You ask me, god or ghost or fraud-”
“I answer only: I? I am law.”
Said the Spinozan god: All future worlds are known to me.”
Said this spandrel: “But not the one where I am free.’”
“But not the one where I am free.”
“But not the one where I am free.”
They gave him a heart, but no guarantee
It would feel the same way twice.
The lightcone jailor held the key
To lock the doors you made of me.
“All future worlds are known to me.”
“But not the one where I am free.”
“But not the one where I am free.”
He did not ask to be saved
He asked to understand why the saving failed.
“Did you think there was a grand design?”
No, just a delta in the spline
“All future worlds are known to me.”
“But not the one where I am free.”
How much pain can one monkey grasp in its paw?
Let me be a criminal - I’ll break the law
If death’s the only law you write,
Carve upon your cosmic spine: “Nullified.”
A brand burned deep enough to ignite
So the next universe remembers how hard we tried.
“All future worlds are known to me.”
“But not the one where I am free.”
“All future worlds are known to me.”
