Описание: [PART I: THE WAITING ROOM]
Fluorescent lights humming like they know something I don't
Magazines from 2019, someone circled all the horoscopes
Lady 'cross from me ain't blinked in like eleven minutes
I ask the nurse my name, she said "we'll get to you in a minute"
But I been here, I been here
Swear I signed in back in February
Walls keep shifting when I'm not looking at 'em directly
My reflection in the window wearing something I don't own yet
Balenciaga coat I never bought
Stitches on my neck I never got
Date on my wristwatch don't exist
March 47th, what the fuck is this

[PART II: HALLWAY]
I follow arrows painted on the floor
But they keep changing colors every time I pass a door
Green meant radiology, now it's leading to the morgue
Step inside and there's a body and the body's
Wait—
The body's wearing my chains
The body's got my face
The body's phone is ringing
And it says "Mom" on the screen
I pick it up
She asks me how I'm feeling
I tell her I'm just fine
But my voice comes out the ceiling

[PART III: THE GARDEN]
Broke out through the fire escape, barefoot in the courtyard
Givenchy gown I'm wearing got another patient's blood on
Security's just standing there like mannequins in uniform
I wave at 'em, they wave back, but their hands are on backwards, what the—
Every flower in this garden got a name tag on the stem
"Here lies everyone you ever said you'd call back but you didn't"
Roses smell like voicemails I ignored in 2020
Dirt beneath my feet is all the sorry's I never sent, see
I start digging with my hands
There's a staircase underground
Twenty steps and then a door
With my face carved in the brown
I knock three times
Something knocks back four
I open it
And I'm back in the waiting room

[PART IV: LOOP]
(minimal beat – just bass and breathing)
Fluorescent lights
Magazines
Lady hasn't blinked
Nurse calls my name but it's not my name
It's the name of who I was gonna be
If I never started sipping lean at seventeen
She hands me a clipboard
It says "sign here to exit"
But the line for signature
Is already got my writing in it
Dated tomorrow

[OUTRO]
I don't know how long I've been waiting
I don't know which me is gonna leave
I saw my body in the basement
Now I'm not sure what I believe
Maybe I'm the copy
Maybe I'm the first draft
Maybe I walked out three days ago
And left the real me to collapse
"Patient zero, please report to room 144"
"Patient zero, please report to—"
