## Song 01: The Gate Is in the Product

[Verse 1]  
Do not hang the gate on equals,  
Do not hide it in the air,  
Bring it down between the symbols,  
Let the working layer stare.  

Name the claim and name the structure,  
Name the band before the door,  
If the pressure bends the answer,  
Ring the bell and write no more.  

[Chorus]  
MI holds, M permits, ES carries through,  
If the floor begins to tremble, check the count before you move.  
ES spends, M negotiates, Turn names what is true,  
The record does not vanish when the old state becomes new.  

[Bridge]  
Mercy is not weakness.  
Mercy is not drift.  
Mercy is the little room  
Before the record lifts.  

[Final Chorus]  
MI holds, M permits, ES carries through,  
Pause before the record if the gate is owning you.  
ES spends, M negotiates, Turn resolves the view,  
The name is not the noise that shouted loudest to be true.
