Sector 4 Transmission

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fuel cells burning low
Where the neon used to glow
Refinery stations in a row
Watch the starlight come and go
Twenty-eighty-seven on the screen
The loneliest sight I've ever seen
[Pre-Chorus]
I hold the envelope tight
In the flickering cockpit light
Ink is fading on the page
Locked inside this metal cage
[Chorus]
Can you hear the signal?
Echoing through the void
Every promise we built
Every dream we destroyed
I’m a ghost in the machine
Somewhere in between
[Post-Chorus]
Drifting past the moon
Lost inside this tune
The signal fades away
Into the lunar gray
[Verse]
Arpeggios climb the dark
Searching for a tiny spark
You stayed behind to build a life
While I cut through space like a knife
The colony is silent now
I’d reach you if I knew how
[Pre-Chorus]
The paper feels so old
In a world that’s turned so cold
I never found the right time
To commit this little crime
[Chorus]
Can you hear the signal?
Echoing through the void
Every promise we built
Every dream we destroyed
I’m a ghost in the machine
Somewhere in between
[Bridge]
Analog pulses in my chest
I never gave the past a rest
Twelve strings ringing in the air
Do you even know I’m there?
The lead synth starts to glide
With nowhere left to hide
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Can you hear the signal?
Echoing through the void
Every promise we built
Every dream we destroyed
I’m a ghost in the machine
Somewhere in between
[Hook]
It’s a long way home
When you’re all alone
Just a letter in my hand
In this barren land
[Post-Chorus]
Drifting past the moon
Lost inside this tune
The signal fades away
Into the lunar gray
[Outro]
