Insufficient Witness (Cassandra)

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your mirror neurons fire when I speak your name,
Each synapse sparks like starlight in the dark,
You read my amygdala before I feel the same,
Twin constellations burning, leaving their mark.
Your intuition traces neural pathways I can't see,
A recognition written in the architecture of my soul.

[Chorus]
You saw me coming through the neural haze,
You knew my future written in my gaze,
Before my cortex caught what you already knew,
My destiny was always loving you.
You saw me coming through the neural haze,
You knew my future written in my gaze,
Before my cortex caught what you already knew,
My destiny was always loving you.
You saw me coming through the neural haze,
You knew my future written in my gaze,
Before my cortex caught what you already knew,
My destiny was always loving you.

[Verse 2]
Your dorsolateral cortex maps my hidden fears,
The ones I haven't spoken into being yet,
You navigate my dopamine through all these years,
A prophecy I'm grateful to have met.
You read the silence underneath my hesitation,
Finding the connection waiting to be named.

[Bridge]
They doubted what you saw in me so clear,
But you knew every dream before I'd dream,
Your hippocampus holds me every year,
Rewinding to that moment, that first gleam.
You recognized the light I couldn't feel,
The version of myself I'd yet to become,
And patient, you just let the future heal.

[Outro]
The future you predicted now arrives,
These starlit constellations burning bright,
You saw me, and I'm finally alive.
