2. Speed Of Light (5:01)
Another time, another place
A hollow universe in space
I took a trip to see the sights
That will be black over a night
One way ticket, no returns
My shootin' stars are vastly burnt
On the edge that we can't see
Let's shot the moon, you and me
And that particular you'll see
I'm just lonesome galaxy
Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light
Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
We're slippin' through the night
I'll say a mass for you and wave
Shootin' plasma from my grave
Event horizon lost in space
Runnin' in a human race
I don't know where I don't know why
But somehow back in time again
I'm on the edge that you can't see
Another take your love at night
A single particle of me
You won't be trackin' me by sight
Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light
Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light
We're slippin' through the night
A hollow universe in space
I took a trip to see the sights
That will be black over a night
One way ticket, no returns
My shootin' stars are vastly burnt
On the edge that we can't see
Let's shot the moon, you and me
And that particular you'll see
I'm just lonesome galaxy
Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light
Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
We're slippin' through the night
I'll say a mass for you and wave
Shootin' plasma from my grave
Event horizon lost in space
Runnin' in a human race
I don't know where I don't know why
But somehow back in time again
I'm on the edge that you can't see
Another take your love at night
A single particle of me
You won't be trackin' me by sight
Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light
Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light
We're slippin' through the night
