[Verse 1]
Static in the viewport
Coffee gone cold in my glove
Calendar says year unknown
Still, I’m stuck orbiting us
Suit on the chair like a ghost
You trace shapes in the frost
Two shadows on the bulkhead
Taking inventory of loss
[Pre-Chorus]
You tap on the glass
Three times, like a code
Ask me in colors
If I’m ready to go
Your eyes are a language
I barely translate
While that star in the distance
Thins out to a scrape
[Chorus]
We watch the sun stop breathing
From Deck 7, side by side
All that golden screaming
Falling into quiet white
If this is how the world ends
I don’t need a reason why
I just need your strange hand in mine
While we watch the dying light
[Verse 2]
I used to scroll through somebody’s face
Till the battery begged for a charge
Now the home screen’s a cracked-blue grave
No signal, just my heart
You laugh in a rhythm of clicks
Tilt your head at my tears
Guess apocalypse hits different
When you outlive all your fears
[Pre-Chorus]
You tap on my chest
Four beats, little test
Mouth shapes my language
Accent of your breath
You point at the star
Shrinking to a seed
Guess we’re last in the network
Guess we’re finally freed
[Chorus]
We watch the sun stop breathing
From Deck 7, side by side
All that golden screaming
Falling into quiet white
If this is how the world ends
I don’t need a reason why
I just need your strange hand in mine
While we watch the dying light
[Bridge]
I used to pray for a message
Now I pray for a glitch
Any noise in the silence
Any crack in the script (yeah)
But it’s just you and me
And a star on its knees
And the long, long echo
Of everything we’ll never be
[Chorus]
We watch the sun stop breathing
From Deck 7, side by side
All that golden screaming
Falling into quiet white
If this is how the world ends
Let the heavens close their eyes
I just need your strange hand in mine
While we watch the dying light (dying light)
