lyrics

You're getting closer to the sun
Your shadow's growing every day
I'm done trying to outrun you
I've gotten used to the shade
And I've been falling for so long
That I can't feel it anymore
I can pretend that I'm flying
If I forget there's a floor

And the best was yet to come, you said
I could drown in all your empty promises

You drifted further from the Earth
But your momentum ran its course
Down here in the shadows
We saw your star to the north

As you fell the fire you made lit the night
But the flames grew too large
And you screamed as the sky turned white

Your failure melted the stonework
Meteor heat-death
Nowhere to hide

And the crater you left of the planet was fourteen miles wide
