[Verse 1] Quiet sirens hum at dawn Billboards bloom like plastic gardens Drone shadows grazing bedroom walls We sip our rations out of crystal jars Screens glow soft on tired faces Eyes scroll further than the sky Calendar of coded choices Click to laugh Click to cry [Chorus] Soft collapse We’re smiling through it Holding hands in the slow decay If this is how the world is ending Let me watch it fade with you today Soft collapse We’re learning to stay In the gentle ruin Calm and awake [Verse 2] Children tracing masked reflections On the fogged-up subway glass Rust on all the metal flowers Blooming in the overpass They sell us dreams in weekly updates Promise peace in every patch Still our hearts keep glitching quiet Out of sync But still attached [Chorus] Soft collapse We’re smiling through it Holding hands in the slow decay If this is how the world is ending Let me watch it fade with you today Soft collapse We’re learning to stay In the gentle ruin Calm and awake [Bridge] Breathe in the filtered air Count every flickering star-shaped pixel If this is all that’s left Maybe it’s already simple We float above the traffic Drifting over ages made of dust Whisper “Nothing here was ever ours” And somehow That feels just [Chorus] Soft collapse We’re smiling through it Holding hands in the slow decay If this is how the world is ending Let me watch it fade with you today Soft collapse We’re learning to stay In the gentle ruin Calm and awake
