Index Clear

[Intro]
Tiny memory, ready to run
Search the little shelf till the answer comes

[Verse]
I keep one bright card in a narrow machine
A handful of facts in a pocket-sized screen
Rows click past with a mechanical spark
I pull the right thread from the miniature dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Sort the pages, mark the proof
Keep the wild guess far from the truth

[Chorus]
Find it, find it, bring the record back
Keep the useful words on the proper track
Small little index, clear little clue
If it cannot be shown, it cannot be true
Find it, find it, line by line
Pin the answer to the source in time
When the cupboard’s bare, say nothing more
Save what we know in the tiny store

[Drop]
Find it!
Check it!
Mark it!
Keep it!

[Verse]
A crooked old label points under the stairs
The note says “maybe,” so nobody swears
One date is missing, one number is wrong
I leave that loose thread outside of the song

[Breakdown]
Is it relevant?
Check the match!
Is it reliable?
Check the date!
Can we fill the empty space?
No—keep the limit in place!

[Final Chorus]
Find it, find it, bring the record back
Keep the useful words on the proper track
Small little index, clear little clue
If it cannot be shown, it cannot be true
Find it, find it, line by line
Pin the answer to the source in time
When the cupboard’s bare, say nothing more
Save what we know in the tiny store

[Outro]
Index clear.
Context held.
Loose claims left behind.
Answer grounded.
