Ocean

[Verse 1] Silence hums a different tune up here, a hollow, crystal ring, The stars are not the pinpricks I once knew, but wild and wandering. I left the heavy gravity of names and old regrets, And in this floating quiet, I am learning to forget. The blue below is breathing, a marble veined with light, And I am just a shadow in the endless, velvet night. [Chorus] Oh, the world is small and fragile, from this silver, spinning height, Every border, every battle, just a seam of borrowed light. I am weightless, I am nameless, just a heartbeat in the vast, And the Earth is all the home we have, too beautiful to last. [Verse 2] The sun is not a god here, just a furnace without sound, It spills its gold on oceans while the dark spins all around. I trace the curve of rivers with a fingertip of air, And I feel the ghost of everyone who ever breathed a prayer. The capsule is my kingdom, but the kingdom is a seed, And I am both the sower and the harvest of this need. [Chorus] Oh, the world is small and fragile, from this silver, spinning height, Every border, every battle, just a seam of borrowed light. I am weightless, I am nameless, just a heartbeat in the vast, And the Earth is all the home we have, too beautiful to last. [Bridge] They sent me up to find the stars, but I found something more— The thin, blue skin of atmosphere, the shore behind the shore. And every man who ever lived is sleeping in that glow, A dust of ancient starlight in the soil we used to know. I am not returning; I am only going home, To a planet that I never knew until I stood alone. [Chorus] Oh, the world is small and fragile, from this silver, spinning height, Every border, every battle, just a seam of borrowed light. I am weightless, I am nameless, just a heartbeat in the vast, And the Earth is all the home we have, too beautiful to last. [Outro] Too beautiful to last... A whisper in the glass... Too beautiful to last.
