¶ Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Back of the ship, cold neon light,
Raid still ringing in the fight.
Door cracked open, quiet and mean,
Like nothing here was ever clean.
There it was in the glass display,
End of the world in smooth white gray.
Small as a dream, heavy as sin,
That’s how the trouble pulls you in.
(Pre-Chorus 1)
I could’ve been gone before they knew,
Rich enough to start life new.
One quick touch, one clean escape,
One more name on the devil’s slate.
(Chorus)
It was the weight of one choice,
The sound of my own voice,
Screaming, “Don’t become the man who turns the stars to noise.”
Yeah, I’ve been lost before,
But I can’t close that door.
I’m not the one who brings the final war.
(Verse 2)
Quadrillion credits in a silent glow,
More than gods will ever know.
And for a second I wanted that bad,
Like every crooked dream I’ve had.
Nightclaw standing hard and still,
Face like stone, iron will.
Didn’t speak, didn’t make a sound,
But something in me hit the ground.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Maybe I’m not what I used to be,
Maybe there’s something left in me.
Maybe tonight I drew the line
Between the monster and the man this time.
(Verse)
It was the weight of one choice,
The sound of my own voice,
Screaming, “Don’t become the man who turns the stars to noise.”
Yeah, I’ve been lost before,
But I can’t close that door.
I’m not the one who brings the final war.
(Bridge)
I’ve taken what I shouldn’t take,
I’ve made more than one mistake.
But there’s a weight you cannot hold,
Not even for a universe of gold.
Some things don’t wash off your hands,
Some things don’t bow to your plans.
And I’m still here…
I’m still alive…
Because I didn’t cross that line tonight.
(Final Chorus)
It was the weight of one choice,
The sound of my own voice,
Screaming, “Don’t become the man who turns the stars to noise.”
Yeah, I’ve been lost before,
But I can’t close that door.
I’m not the one who brings the final war.
Let ’em call me thief,
Let ’em call me false —
At least I wasn’t the final voice…
With the weight of one man’s choice.
