[Verse 1]
Red dust in my teeth
Static in my sleep
Counting cracks
In this metal tomb
One boot print
By the airlock door
No reply
From the living room
[Pre-Chorus]
I spin my helmet
’Til I catch that glow
Tiny marble
Hanging in the cold
[Chorus]
Blue Earth, red dust
I’m a ghost in a rusted suit
Got time, too much
Writing names in the Martian soot
Blue Earth, don’t rush
I’m just drifting above the dunes
With you in my visor
And your silver little moon
[Verse 2]
Rations on the shelf
Jokes on my own breath
Talk to cans
Like they talk back
Draw your outline
On the rover glass
Finger trails
Where my heart cracked
[Pre-Chorus]
I chase your daylight
As the planet turns
Watch you rising
As my sky burns
[Chorus]
Blue Earth, red dust
I’m a ghost in a rusted suit
Got time, too much
Writing names in the Martian soot
Blue Earth, don’t rush
I’m just drifting above the dunes
With you in my visor
And your silver little moon
[Bridge]
Maybe rescue’s just a rumor
Maybe I’m the last to know (last to know)
Still I whisper to that shimmer
“Leave a light on in the glow” (leave a light on)
[Chorus]
Blue Earth, red dust
I’m a ghost in a rusted suit
Got time, too much
Writing names in the Martian soot
Blue Earth, hold up
I’ll keep spinning through the gloom
’Til your colors fill my glass
And you swallow up the moon
