Paradox (Office Lyric Video)

"You're a memory I haven't made yet... a future wrapped in yesterday's regret."

Paradox is a descent into the feedback loop of time and desire. As a core chapter of The Phantom Protocol, this track explores the agony of living in a timeline that doesn't align—where the past, present, and future collapse into a "beautiful disaster."

Driven by a relentless, predatory bassline and hauntingly intimate vocals, Paradox captures the tension of being trapped in a love that rewrites itself every time the clock ticks.

Lyric:
You're a memory I haven't made yet
A future wrapped in yesterday's regret
Your touch is ancient, brand new, obsessed
Love's a timeline I can't digest
Sharp edges of tomorrow in my chest
The past keeps calling, puts me to the test

In love with what we were
In love with what we'll be
Trapped between the words
That you won't say to me

We're a paradox, darling
Time folding in on itself
Yesterday's tomorrow's warning
I'm drowning, I need your help
We're collapsing—forward, backwards
Every memory yet to come
Hold me in this beautiful disaster
Till the future and the past are one

I remember things we'll never do
Nostalgia for a life I'm walking through
Your ghost arrives before you're gone
Love rewrites what's dead and done
The clock spins counterclockwise in my head
You're leaving me before we've even met

In love with who you were
In love with who you'll be
Caught between the hurt
And sweet uncertainty

We're a paradox, darling
Time folding in on itself
Yesterday's tomorrow's warning
I'm drowning, I need your help
We're collapsing—forward, backwards
Every memory yet to come
Hold me in this beautiful disaster
Till the future and the past are one

I'll mourn you before you're gone
I'll meet you after we're done
Love's a loop that never ends
Breaking, mending, breaking again

We're a paradox, darling
Time folding in on itself

Yesterday's tomorrow's warning
Every memory yet to come
Hold me in this beautiful disaster
Till the future and the past are—

One...
