[Verse 1] I came down slow through the violet air Soft red hands, brought a star to share Opened my palms, showed the worlds I’ve known Offered them doors to a brighter unknown [Pre-Chorus] I saw the fear in their eyes like fire Clutching their books, calling me a liar Whispers of gods they were scared to lose So they loaded their faith into aim and fuse [Chorus] You shot at the sky when I opened it wide You buried your future in panic and pride You called me a monster, I just called you “friend” First contact broken that we couldn’t mend [Verse 2] I traced new maps in the dust and rain Spoke of the stars and their endless chain Told them of cities built on comet stone Told them that no one ever dies alone [Pre-Chorus] But every word turned to sharpened glass Echoes of sermons from a darker past They drew their lines, pulled the fences tight Chose a small heaven over endless light [Chorus] You shot at the sky when I opened it wide You buried your future in panic and pride You called me a monster, I just called you “friend” First contact broken that we couldn’t mend [Bridge] I heard the prayers spilling over the ground “Keep us the center, keep the others unfound” Torches and rifles, a halo of threat This is the welcome that the cosmos gets [Chorus] You shot at the sky when I opened it wide You buried your future in panic and pride You called me a monster, I just called you “friend” First contact broken that we couldn’t mend [Outro] Engines awake as the bullets fly I turn my ship from a faith-locked sky Maybe one day you will raise your eyes And ask why the universe passed you by
