[Intro — Spoken over arpeggiated strings + vinyl crackle]
(0:00) 8 bars
Vacuum static in her glove, pumpkin-moon halo low,
They lit the lab of the Galaxy — watched a quiet bright thing grow.
Phosphor scars across a petri-dawn, helium rain on glass,
On Halloween the cosmos hummed — we set the fuse and let it pass.
[Verse 1 — 8 bars | origin]
Bar 1: In the lab of stars we stitched the light, petri-dish of night,
Bar 2: A single heartbeat in the Milky Way — a test, a whisper, right.
Bar 3: Coronal flasks, amber glow, we measured hope in micro-sparks,
Bar 4: She signed the log with trembling hands, the code read like a prayer in the dark.
Bar 5: Phosphor scars mapped ribcage glass, the reactor coughed a lullaby,
Bar 6: Classical strings like breath beneath, a crescendo saw the skyline pry.
Bar 7: Then a seam of white — a supernova's pulse, the lab combusts to dawn,
Bar 8: Once a quiet experiment — now the cradle where a star is born.
[Pre-Chorus — 4 bars | build]
Bar 1: Pulse: low kick — the kick hits the rib of space,
Bar 2: Snare: knife-sharp — syncopate the open face,
Bar 3: Arpeggio climbs, cello fold, strings pull her into flight,
Bar 4: Hook lights up: "In the lab of stars we combust — supernova, we turn to dust."
[Chorus — 4 bars | hook — singable, repeated]
Hook (sing): In the lab of stars we combust — supernova, we turn to dust.
Hook (repeat, lift): In the lab of stars we combust — supernova, we turn to dust.
Counter-melody (choir pad, female lead harmonizes above): oo-oo, oo-oo
Arrangement cue: strings motif under chorus, warm pad, distant brass swells.
[Verse 2 — 8 bars | stakes & journey]
Bar 1: Tidal wave of the Milky Way — a silver ocean, dark and wide,
Bar 2: She slips a broken tether on, once a suit, now a comet-heart inside.
Bar 3: Vacuum static in her glove, heartbeat echoes in the helmet crown,
Bar 4: Ghost-pumpkin constellation turns the Halloween sky upside down.
Bar 5: Rhyme: crisp like snare — "she rides the tide, she rides the dust,"
Bar 6: Breathable bars, she trades old bones for light, translator of rust.
Bar 7: Once they called her zombie, drifting — now she ripples through a tide,
Bar 8: A comet-scarlet laugh; she learns to surf the gravity she tried to hide.
[Pre-Chorus 2 — 4 bars | lead into chorus variation]
Bar 1: Crescendo — strings tremble, timpani roll low,
Bar 2: Rap tag (spoken rapid): "Comet-heart, comet-heart, steal the show."
Bar 3: Hook echoes: "In the lab of stars we combust — supernova, we turn to dust,"
Bar 4: Tag: a whisper adds: "not ashes — ornaments of trust."
[Chorus 2 — 4 bars | variation with rap tag]
Lead sing: In the lab of stars we combust — supernova, we turn to dust.
Rap-tag (bar): She spits comet-fire, bar-lines spark,
Counter-melody: (high strings, small choir) "burn brighter, burn brighter, burn brighter."
[Bridge — 8 bars | reveal & transformation]
Bar 1: (Soft piano, choir pad) Once a suit, once a hush — she opens like a tide,
Bar 2: Phosphor veins go luminous, helium rain rewinds
