[Verse 1]
Level eleven
There was a room we weren’t supposed to find
(Aldric)
I know
(the map said it wasn’t here)
The map said a lot of things
They were in the middle of a conversation
Two of them
Watching something we couldn’t see
Taking notes
Not looking at us
[Pre-Chorus]
One of them said —
The One from system seven completed level 82 last cycle
The ranking board updated
The whole system moved up
(what ranking board)
They both looked at us
[Chorus]
Every One has a mission
(…)
Every One expands
The levels are the measure
The higher you go the more your system gains
The old The One in your system
(my system)
Had the lowest rank in the galaxy
(…)
For three hundred thousand years
(…)
Because he did not go
He only waited
For you
[Verse 2]
I turned around
Six faces
Not surprised
Not confused
Just
(…)
Very suddenly interested in the floor
The Hunter found something on his boot
The Hero began a speech
That went nowhere
Aldric opened the map
Even though we were standing still
The Queen looked at the wall
Castor looked at me
The Swan looked at Castor
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I said
Did you all know about this
(…)
(technically—)
(the word technically is not an answer)
(it’s a complicated—)
(how long)
(…)
(since the bar)
Since the BAR
[Chorus 2]
Every One has a mission
And everyone knew
Except the one
Who was supposed to lead it
The Watchers are writing this down
(they write everything down)
(it is not personal)
I have been accidentally building an expansion crew
Without knowing I was building an expansion crew
(you built a very good one)
THAT IS NOT THE POINT
[Bridge]
I think about the bar
Two constellations too drunk to stand
A dead man with a quill
A queen who never explained herself
A knight who came because his brother couldn’t
A swan who sat outside three doors before he showed us the key
And none of them told me
What this was
I think about why
I think about whether I would have chosen differently
If I had known
I think
No
I would have chosen
Exactly these ones
[Final Chorus]
Every One has a mission
And I have mine
And the crew I accidentally collected
At a bar
In a Level 2 fold
Are exactly
Who I would have chosen anyway
(you sure about that)
(the Hunter went left twice)
I’m sure about that
(the Hero also went left)
Very sure about that
(the map was wrong three times)
I am absolutely certain
[Outro]
One of them looks at me
Writes something
Shows the other one
The other one nods
They leave
Castor says
(so we’re going to level 79?)
We’re going to level 79
(excellent)
(I knew it would be us)
(you literally didn’t know anything)
(I knew it in my heart)
