[Verse 1]

Halcyon days long wasted, departing our shores

A respite from thought that was useless and I get no more

A window to you that is narrowed and not yet shut

A trip through a sickening distance that I need so much

[Chorus 1]

As we dream of our descent upon the surface

I see settlement fires

Gift of water that we carry

Lies in slumber under magnifiers

[Bridge]

Where is the rescue?

It didn't show

Where is the bottom?

I wouldn't know

I missed you so

[Chorus 2]

As we brake for our descent upon the surface

I see settlement fires

This start we carry for your oceans

Lies in waiting under magnifiers

[Verse 2]

You can't know the hours that kept me awake

Awake with a start and the instruments say I've come so far

A stag and a doe and a surface here are being lost

Hope wasn't here, but it slept in the seeds of our own dust

Do you feel loved?
