(Verse 1) The geiger counter sings a lullaby, Static whispers through the pines, Concrete veins where fireflies don't fly, A clock stopped at 1:23, frozen in time. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, the earth still turns but the air won't breathe, The roses bloom in shades we can't see— (Chorus) *We built a sun beneath our feet,* *Now the night glows where we sleep,* *All the king’s men with their leaden sheets,* *Couldn’t stitch the sky back to its seams.* (Verse 2) The playground swings in a silent hymn, Rust-eaten laughter on the wind, The wolves came back when the people left, And the rain still tastes like medicine. (Bridge) *Do you remember?* *The radio crackled like a dying star,* *"Nothing to worry about, comrades,"* *While the sirens wrote their memoirs.* (Outro) So here’s to the ghosts in the reactor’s glow, The silent hum where the wild things go, The world forgets, but the dirt still knows— Every secret that we buried grows.
