Adrift Beyond Return — dbuck

Verse 1

Helmet fogged, glass full of stars
Engines dead, the silence howls
I drift through black rivers of dust
The radio hisses, but no one answers

Verse 2

Earth is a memory burning small
Just a pale flame behind my eyes
Every gauge bleeds empty lines
Every hour stretches into stone

Chorus

Can’t get back, no road to follow
Home is a fire I’ll never touch
Floating in the jaws of forever
The void keeps me for its own

Bridge

I scream, but sound dies in my throat
I reach, but nothing has weight
The stars don’t care
The dark pulls tighter
And I’m still here

Outro

Adrift without end
Light years from home
The cosmos closes in
And I fade into its roar
