Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Climbing up the ladder to the roof Thirteen and I’m looking for the proof Chipped white paint on the telescope base Frostbite stinging on my young face Suburban silence in the dead of night Hiding from the neighborhood street light Coffee stains on the map of the stars Tracing out the red dust of Mars I had the universe in my grip Before I let the whole dream slip Now I’m just a ghost in a suit Looking for a life with no root [Pre-Chorus] I promised I would never look down But now I’m just a ghost in this town Chasing a ghost of a different kind Leaving the galaxies all behind [Chorus] I traded the moon for a corner view I killed the kid that I once knew Validation is a hollow glow I got nowhere left to go Yeah I’m soaring through the empty space With tears running down my face Autotune hiding all the pain Standing in the cold October rain [Post-Chorus] (Yeah, it's all gone) (Where did the light go?) (It's all gone) [Verse] Now it's spreadsheets and a blue light glare Oxygen is thinning in the office air Promotions feel like a heavy weight Showing up early and staying late I miss the way the Orion belt Made me forget how the sadness felt Now I’m just a number on a screen Living out a life I didn't mean My telescope is rotting in the shed While I’m chasing shadows in my head I’ve got the money but I’m still broke Life is just a cruel cosmic joke [Hook] Staring at the ceiling at 3 AM Wondering if I’ll see them again The constellations that I used to name Before I got addicted to the game [Bridge] The lens is cracked and the tripod’s bent Wondering where all the magic went I sold my soul for a title and a name But the sky above looks just the same It’s still there But I’m not I’m just a knot In a plot I forgot [Chorus] I traded the moon for a corner view I killed the kid that I once knew Validation is a hollow glow I got nowhere left to go Yeah I’m soaring through the empty space With tears running down my face Autotune hiding all the pain Standing in the cold October rain [Breakdown] (Distant piano reverberations) (Heavy sub-bass pulse) (Guitar arpeggios fading) [Outro]
