[Verse 1] Route nine unravels Like a ribbon to the shore Old bus stop sign Leaning into salt and lore Someone hung a wind chime Made of seashells and keys Every little tangle Is a door into a breeze [Chorus] Welcome to Hakuto Base Where the gods go surfing Face-first into foam Where the stars take selfies In the windows of your phone (hey) Nature Old stories Passing ’round a paper cup of wine Smiles doing loop‑de‑loops Over this crooked little shrine [Verse 2] Grandma sells you coffee In a cup that used to pray Cracked white rabbit statue Keeps blinking at the bay Two kids trade constellations Like they're stickers at a fair “I’ll swap you my Orion For that lucky piece of air” (oh yeah) [Chorus] Welcome to Hakuto Base Where the gods go surfing Face-first into foam Where the sea keeps secrets But it tells you “make it home” Nature New strangers Braiding all their timelines into mine Love takes the wrong exit Ends up on Route nine [Bridge] Is that thunder or a heartbeat? Is that legend or a friend? Are we lost or are we chosen By this bend By this dead‑end? If the universe is laughing It sounds a lot like you Spilling myths and mispronouncing Every wish that might come true [Chorus] Welcome to Hakuto Base Where the gods go surfing Slightly out of tune Where the night hangs sideways Like a lantern on the moon Nature Stars And weirdos Passing all these worn-out tales along If you stayed forever Would it still feel this wrong‑right Wrong?
