We cut the tether with a careless hand Watched it drift away from this borrowed land Bleak dust settles where our shadows stood We swore we'd make ammends I knew we never would The air is running thinner than our patience ever ran And I'm counting every heartbeat like it's rationed How are we supposed to survive On a rock where nothing's alive We settled here and burned the sky No rescue coming No reply Tell me how are we supposed to survive I look for hope in the broken ground Talk to myself no one around Our promise still loops in my mind While every orbit leaves us behind I used to breathe easy Now the oxygen is low And the only thing we left ourselves Was a long way down to go How are we supposed to survive On a rock where nothing's alive We took this place and burned the sky No rescue coming No reply Tell me how are we supposed to survive I know the crash wasn't the wanting I know the crash was simply us The sunrise no longer enough To cover up what we've done How are we supposed to survive When the loneliest place isn't outside We took our home... And burned the sky
