lyrics

I scan the sickly yellow sky
For the quickly shrinking moon
This was my chance to say goodbye
I am leaving soon

Perhaps the moon’s already gone
I’d be the last to leave the Earth
I lasted longer than they said I could
I don’t know what that’s worth

I will hang my head in shame
And I will use this ship I’ve stolen
To escape this world a-flame
And I will find your mighty colony
And join its growing fleet
Being the last to feel
The Earth beneath his feet

The emptiness is heavy
And the silence is thick
I feel like purgatory Jack
With his pumpkin candlestick

I don’t wanna leave this planet
And I wouldn’t if I had the choice
But this temperature will kill me
And I need the human voice

And I will hang my head in shame
And I will take my stolen vessel
And escape this world a-flame
And I will find your mighty colony
And join its growing fleet
Being the last to feel
The Earth beneath his feet

I wander a valley
That once harbored seas
And now it’s just sand
And assorted debris

I make note of all the details:
Near perfect copies in my mind
So I can tell your children
About the place we left behind

And I will hang my head in shame
And I will use the ship I’ve stolen
And escape this world a-flame
And I will find your mighty colony
And join its growing fleet
Being the last to feel
The Earth beneath his feet
