[Verse 1] Clock in Ship’s still frozen Breath fogs in my cracked-up mask Tagging rusted hulls like tombstones In this busted metal graveyard Mag-boot stuck on twisted railing Hands numb in the radio hiss Supervisor counts our minutes Never asks whose bones did this [Chorus] Out here in the graveyard in the belt Scraping gold from someone else’s hell Underpaid Under their radar Just a number on a hazard chart If the tether snaps and I just drift They’ll file it under “cargo shift” Graveyard in the belt That’s where I dwell Wringing wages from a busted shell [Verse 2] Lunch is cold beans Lukewarm coffee Floating in a plastic bag Watch a shuttle peel off glowing Taking profits Leaving slag Mom says “Son You must be famous Mining stars for all mankind” Funny how the vids don’t show us Coughing black into the brine [Chorus] Out here in the graveyard in the belt Scraping gold from someone else’s hell Underpaid Under their radar Just a number on a hazard chart If the tether snaps and I just drift They’ll file it under “cargo shift” Graveyard in the belt That’s where I dwell Wringing wages from a busted shell [Bridge] Maybe one day I’ll buy passage Off this rust-ring carousel Till then I’ll weld my little miracles Keep the rich kids sleeping well (oh yeah) [Chorus] Out here in the graveyard in the belt Scraping gold from someone else’s hell Underpaid Under their radar Just a number on a hazard chart If I burn out slow like all this junk Write my name in vacuum dust Graveyard in the belt I know it well I am the ghost inside the shell
