So Long Lyrics

When you're looking to the heavens

You know you're looking to the past

That's alright for some

They let the sublime wash past

But death won't wait forever

It'll find you before that

Better make your peace with the vacuum before your body turns to ash

When you reach event horizon

When your cards turn up the pyre

Clutching tickets to the westbound train

While the station burns like fodder

Will the ember of each smouldering coal resist itself as fire

Or will you find that you were never here

Just a ripple on the water

Always dreaming of the future

And reaching towards the past

That light, off in the distance

Trying to set a path

Gently singing a siren song

A direction to distract

You better make your peace with nowhere

Somewhere's always fleeting fast

Your love is like a bullhorn

It screams over the lake

It travels over space and time to find me, all this way

But by the time it reaches me it doesn't sound the same

And I'm not sure how to love you back when the signals bound the change
