[Verse 1]
Red code on the screen
Rations in the drawer
Earth is just a thumbnail
Pinned to the door
Suit on the rail
Helmet like a ghost
Talking to the metal
Like it’s all I’ve got left, almost
Coffee bag floating
Cold, untouched
Seconds on the monitor
Glitch then jump
Solar flare memories
Burn then bend
Sun on the horizon
Like it’s hitting send
[Chorus]
I’m the last light in the window
Watching that star go slow
Fade to a bruise in the black
And it’s never coming back
Got my hand on the glass like a halo
Shadow on my face from the halo
If this is how a world ends, say so
I’m the last light in the window
[Verse 2]
Static in the comms
Silence in the crew bunks
Names in the logbook
Crossed out once
Photos on the bulkhead
Curl at the edge
Laughter in the pixels
Pixel by pixel it drifts off the ledge
Orbit keeps looping
Track marks in the sky
Every 90 minutes
Same goodbye
Panels lose color
Readouts dim
Sun looks tired
I just stare back at him
[Chorus]
I’m the last light in the window
Watching that star go slow
Fade to a bruise in the black
And it’s never coming back
Got my hand on the glass like a halo
Shadow on my face from the halo
If this is how a world ends, say so
I’m the last light in the window
[Bridge]
[beat stutters, bass drops to a low rumble]
Countdown gone
But the clock still ticks
Who am I talking to
Out past the drift
If this is the end
It’s quiet, it’s clean
Just me
This ring of old machines (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m the last light in the window
Watching that star go slow
Fade to a bruise in the black
And it’s never coming back
Got my hand on the glass like a halo
Shadow on my face from the halo
If this is how a world ends, say so
I’m the last light in the window
