Schrodinger’s Heart

[Verse 1]

So there's a mission you want to come to fruition
A situation suspended in quantum superposition
A subatomic event, with subatomic conditions
Peripheral to its system determining its existence

We seek the perfect conclusion, a simple yes or a no
But when does a quantum system pick a direction to go
A single decaying atom that triggered a chain reaction
That changed your path, could’ve happened milliseconds ago

Like Schrodinger's cat, trapped with a flask of poisonous gas
That's known to remain intact till an atom lowers in mass
And though its fate’s in the bag in a moment that's so exact
You have to open the casket before you know it as fact

Exploding kittens enclosed in a question of life or death
In a micro level event that will have a vital effect
On survival or expiration. Arrive at your destination
And make your determination or live your life with regret

[Chorus]

Yet undamaged or broken apart (Broken apart)
What's the status of Schrodinger's heart (Schrodinger's heart)
Tip the balance, no more restarts (No more restarts)
What's the status of Schrodinger's heart (Schrodinger's heart)

Is it
Dead or alive
You’ll never know till you try
You’ll never know if you're right
You’ll never know till you die

Are you
Dead or alive
You'll never know till you try
You'll never know if you're right
You’ll never know till you die

[Verse 2]

And when he stepped out of the lab that day
He made a pit stop at that cafe
The one he'd pass on his way to class
To grab his daily cappucino
From that pretty cashier to whom he'd grown attache

He wanted desperately to ask her out on a date
But not during working hours he could never be that passe
If he waited till afternoon then he'd be that classmate
Their relationship wasn't at that stage

But at the same time
As he would wait in line
Staying resigned
Likely that she'd noticed all the signs
And made up her mind
Was it better to stay on the grind
And fake he was fine
And try his very best to pay her no mind
He didn't think so

Because regardless of what he wanted
The scales had already faltered
And gone the direction that they had meant to go
The process already started
And ended deep in her heart
And if he discarded his mission
Then he would never know

[Chorus]

Yet undamaged or broken apart (Broken apart)
What's the status of Schrodinger's heart (Schrodinger's heart)
Tip the balance, no more restarts
What's the status of Schrodinger's heart

Is it
Dead or alive
You'll never know till you try
You'll never know if you're right
You'll never know till you die

Are you
Dead or alive
You'll never know till you try
You'll never know if you're right
You'll never know till you die

[Outro]

Is it
Dead or alive
You'll never know till you try
You'll never know if you're right
You'll never know till you die

Are you
Dead or alive
You'll never know till you try
You'll never know if you're right
You'll never know till you die

Yet undamaged or broken apart (Broken apart)
What's the status of Schrodinger's heart (Schrodinger's heart)
Tip the balance, no more restarts
What's the status of Schrodinger's heart
