[Intro – filtered voice, distant radio static]
Tell my wife I love her...
Tell her I’m sorry...
Mars was the next great adventure...
The final frontier, we thought...
…ha…
[Build – soft synth pulse]
We said we knew what we were doing
We said we’d conquer the sky
Red dust dreams and burning engines
Never thought we’d die
Blue skies fading in my memory
Her voice I still can hear
Every mile that took me farther
Brought the ending near
[Pre-Drop – tension rising]
Now we’re drifting
No control
Empty silence
Swallows whole
[Drop – heavy techno beat]
Floating… round a dead planet
Running… out of air
Floating… round a dead planet
No one… out there
[Verse 2 – stripped beat, darker tone]
It was stupid to volunteer
Thought I had something to prove
Left behind a life so perfect
For a dream I couldn’t use
Kitchen light on Sunday morning
Coffee in her hands
Traded all for dust and silence
Dying where I stand
God… what have I done?
What have I done?
[Breakdown – echoing, emotional]
I had everything…
And it wasn’t enough…
I had everything…
And it wasn’t enough…
Heartbeat slowing in the static
Counting every breath
Every second stretching longer
In the face of death
[Final Drop – heavier, more distorted]
Tell my wife I love her
Tell her I tried
Lost in the silence
Too far to cry
Floating… round a dead planet
Running… out of time
Floating… round a dead planet
This is goodbye
[Outro – fading signal]
Tell my wife… I love her…
…love her…
…love her…
