Lyrics

Verse 1 (Rescued Crew)
The stars don’t comfort when you’re lost
They watch and never blink
Time stretches thin, then disappears
Between the breath you take and think
We rationed hope like oxygen
Measured fear in days
Every system failure taught us
How easily the mind decays

Verse 2 (Rescued Crew)
The dark becomes a living thing
When no reply returns
You argue with the instruments
While everything you trust still burns
We planned for death in quiet terms
No drama, no alarms
Just waiting for the power down
In each other’s arms

[Solo]

Chorus
Space does not forgive
It does not hate
It only waits
It takes what certainty you had
And leaves you with the weight
Of what you said
Of what you feared
Of time that wouldn’t bend
The silence tells you who you are
Before the end

Verse 3 (Rescue Crew)
The math looked clean, the margins tight
But people never are
We carried friction in the ship
Like unseen cracks in steel and spar
Tempers flared, procedures strained
Sleep turned sharp and thin
Every problem multiplied
By knowing what was riding in

Verse 4 (Rescue Crew)
We chased the clock across the void
With fuel and doubt to spare
One wrong burn, one late correction
And we’d join you drifting there
Getting home was not relief
Just one more test to face
The gravity we’d left behind
Returned with heavier weight

Chorus
Space does not forgive
It does not hate
It only waits
It takes what certainty you had
And leaves you with the weight
Of what you said
Of what you feared
Of time that wouldn’t bend
The silence tells you who you are
Before the end

Bridge (Both Crews)
Survival isn’t victory
It’s only staying whole
When every calculation
Still can’t measure what it stole
We crossed the dark together
But not unchanged inside
Some distances remain with us
No matter how we tried

[Solo]

Outro
Now Earth is loud with ordinary days
The sky looks calm, the stars feel far away
But when the nights go perfectly still
We hear the silence
And always will
