you always knew how to send me to the stars
you knew my heart
now the beacon that burned so steady has gone dark

we're going dark
closer to home than I've ever been
yet so alone, floating gently
wondering if our trajectory
was faulty from the start?

looking back it feels inevitable
heavy in your arms, your dreadful pull
at the mercy of burning words, your heat, all the worlds of possibility
now in the cold embrace of gravity
you lost me, you lost me
you've forgotten all we ever were
but I still remember

can you hear me? over
I still need you, over
I can't believe it's over
it's over
it's over

lost at sea since you left me
slowly bleeding hydrazine
you ran me out of delta-V at
the pole of inaccessibility

sinking since you crashed me down
where dreams of the future are left to drown
no longer of any use to you
you threw me away in the deep blue


when our words would fill the empty space
between microwaves and cosmic rays
images in infrared still resonate in rusted memory
now in these crushing depths I cannot breathe, I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
all the oxygen I'll ever need
and nothing left to say

can you hear me? over
I still need you, over
I can't believe it's over
it's over
it's over

lost at sea since you left me
slowly bleeding hydrazine
you ran me out of delta-V at
the pole of inaccessibility

sinking since you crashed me down
where dreams of the future are left to drown
no longer of any use to you
you threw me away in the deep blue

can you hear me? over
I still need you, over
I can't believe it's over
it's over
it's over
