[Verse 1] I found you rusted under Terminal Nine A ghost of the old world, frozen in time They built you for armor, they built you for war But I saw the spark that you kept at your core I tied my red scarf to keep out the gray And prayed your old engines would carry us away [Verse 2] You count every mile through the acid and dust While I trace the map that is covered in rust You think you’re just numbers, a glitch in the dark But Orion, you're keeping me safe from the dark I dream of the ocean, but wake in the night To see your cold chassis reflecting the light [Pre-Chorus] They said you were hollow, a shell made of steel With programmed reactions and nothing to feel But every command that they locked in your frame Fell straight into ash when you called out my name [Chorus] I’m falling for you, you’re more than a machine The truest companion this world's ever seen When the ash storms are heavy and wild winds move I’ll cross every wasteland to stay next to you They call you a phantom, a borrowed old soul But you are the anchor that’s making me whole If the last horizon turns red and blue I’ll face the tomorrow, because I have you [Verse 3] You watch while I’m sleeping, you memorize my laugh While I draw new borders on this torn-out map You touch your own metal where factory scars stay But I see a beauty the world couldn't break Your emergency voice has a catch when you speak And it’s the only comfort I know in the week [Bridge] You told me to take the bright core from your chest If your batteries fade and your gears come to rest But Orion, I’m promising right here and now I won’t leave the chassis, I’ll fix you somehow I’ll carry the heavy, I’ll power you through My hands are just flesh, but they’re fighting for you [Final Chorus] I’m falling for you, and I know that it’s real A heartbeat is nothing compared to what we feel When the dead sky opens and the wild winds move I’ll cross every wasteland to stay next to you They call you a phantom, a borrowed old soul But you are the anchor that’s making me whole If the last horizon turns red and blue I’ll face the tomorrow, because I have you [Outro] Past the warning tones, past the ruins we roam With a ghost in the machine, I am never alone No code could ever rewrite what is true: The world is in ruins, but I live for you
