[Intro] [Downtuned chugging palm-muted guitar] [Driving, mid-tempo drum beat] [Verse 1] Static on the comms again Red dust coating every lens I’m a billion miles from the nearest hand Building sandcastles in the dead sand The oxygen is getting thin Is this where the vacuum wins? [Pre-Chorus] [Bass guitar slides down] The core is cooling The floor is falling I’m just a pilot Waiting for the calling [Chorus] I’m an empty star in a hollow sky Watching the light in my own eyes die I don’t know the math of the crash Is it a White Dwarf turning to ash? Or a Black Hole sucking the light from the floor? Maybe a Neutron Star—heavy and sore I’m collapsing I’m collapsing [Verse 2] The gravity is pulling tight Turning every noon into a midnight I had a map of the Milky Way But I traded it for a place to stay Now the walls are shrinking in Tell me where do I begin? [Bridge] [Clean, melodic non-distorted guitar solo] [Atmospheric vocal textures] [Isolated drum kicks] Which one? The fade? The crush? The weight? I’m too dense to breathe I’m too dark to leave [Chorus] I’m an empty star in a hollow sky Watching the light in my own eyes die I don’t know the math of the crash Is it a White Dwarf turning to ash? Or a Black Hole sucking the light from the floor? Maybe a Neutron Star—heavy and sore I’m collapsing I’m collapsing [Outro] [Abrupt stop on the instruments] [Single sustained synth note] Empty star. [Fade to silence]
