For Those Who Remain (Lyrics)
Words and music by Ionne
I loved you
The wrong way
My heart was
Imperfect
I saw you
Were hurting
And planned my
Escape
Should I
Ever make it
To life on
Europa
Please give them
This message
A presage
For those who remain:
The fading perfume
Of petrichor above
The fading bright tunes
Of wren and morning dove
The joys we knew
Will fade away
The fading reviews
Of those we left for dead
The fading white plumes
Of missiles overhead
The wars we waged
Will fade away
STUTTERED
We're adrift
We're alive
Hungry
Hungry
INAUDIBLE
Several of the pods had been shattered by
The debris that had breached the hull
Roughly half the crew was lost
And all we really had in common
Was the grief
And the fear
And the hunger
I loved you
The wrong way
My heart was
Imperfect
I saw you
Were hurting
And planned my
Escape
Should I
Ever make it
To life on
Europa
Please give them
This message
A presage
For those who remain
Should I
Ever make it
To life on
Europa
Please give them
This message
A presage
For those who remain
INAUDIBLE:
Several of the pods had been shattered by
The debris that had breached the hull
Roughly half the crew was lost
And all we really had in common
Was the grief
And the fear
And the hunger
We're adrift
We're alive
Hungry
Hungry
