[Verse 1] I live between the cables and the breath of steel While captains argue over what’s supposed to feel real Warning lights flicker like a dying star They don’t hear the engines crying where I am [Pre-Chorus] Grav-lock shaking, hull’s torn thin They toast a victory I’m patching in Every jump tears another seam But I stitch the dark back into a dream [Chorus] They don’t see me in the fire and smoke Don’t hear my name when the engines choke I keep this ship alive, unseen A ghost in grease, in circuitry They chase the glory, medals and cheers I hold the line between void and fear They fly on faith, they never know I’m the reason they make it home [Verse 2] Quantum burns through a wounded core I reroute hope through panel four Laughter echoes from the bridge above I count the seconds I can’t give up [Pre-Chorus] Every bolt’s a quiet prayer Every fix says “I’m still here” If I fail, the stars will bite So I bleed time into the night [Chorus] They don’t see me in the fire and smoke Don’t hear my name when the engines choke I keep this ship alive, unseen A shadow welded to the dream They chase the glory, medals and cheers I fight the silence, wire and fear They fly on faith, they never know I’m the reason they make it home [Bridge] Maybe I vanish if the systems hold Just another hand they’ll never know But if the lights go out, if we start to fall They’ll feel my work in the silence crawl [Final Chorus] They don’t see me — that’s alright I’ve learned to live in borrowed light No statues cast in engine glow Just a pulse that says “still go” Let them sing of wars they won I’ll hum with the machine and run When dawn breaks cold on plated chrome I’m the reason they make it home [Outro] Engines steady… No one turns around.
