lyrics

if the last word out my mouth
seems to be sorry
would you say it, tell me if you're really honest
'cause by now I'm spinning out
- out of your orbit
as I fall into the surface
thinking what a lovely way to go

from spite, comes a mission cry
and so I'll path my way through stars this time
although now I know the reason why
it always fails at the worst of times
cut the fuselage,
throw my head back against the wall
an idle stall
for me to say "hey ground can you believe this, that there's nothing here but demons?"

oh
there's something else you need to know
so I'll call for mission control
they'll mark my life down as null
leaving ghost signals
is the only thing I know

emphatic, heart of ghostly static
reaping sorrow, yet I never wanna let you go
a question, one I'm second guessing
stuck on overdrive, still catching signals, don't you know

so just like that
the void responds when I say
"oh there goes another one, a life that's lived is no more fun"
long gone now, but I don't ask for your pity
so I'll set my aim for planes that cross and error when I go
and just like that, I find myself caught in this thousand years of silence
yet you bite the hand that guides us
sown death by life; I'll raize another city
don't you know once you go
all you leave is a shadow of the soul

oh
fire relapse then take control
spiraling faster than before
only this time I'll let you know
that this ghost signal follows everywhere you go

emphatic, heart aglow with static
won't account for this next time my death comes from below
a question, one I'm second guessing
but I won't let up until I finally let go
and I let go

so just like that
the void responds when I say
"oh there goes another one, a life that's lived is no more fun"
long gone now, but I don't ask for your pity
so I'll set my aim for planes that cross and error when I go
and just like that, I find myself caught in this thousand years of silence
yet you bite the hand that guides us
sown death by life; I'll raize another city
don't you know once you go
all you leave is a shadow of the soul
