Counting down, oh, oh…

I’m waking up to ash and rust,

Headlights illuminate the dust.

They say we all go interstellar,

I really thought I’d live forever.

Agony, an interplanetary cry,

Please close my weary eyes.

Aching bones wave goodbye,

Moments before we die.

Liftoff forever, hear the rocket’s roar,

Gravity can’t hold us down any more.

I never thought that I’d lose her,

It’s only sixty seconds to Jupiter.

Oh,

Sixty seconds to Jupiter.

No.

Wipe away those tears and say “amen”

Everyone we know is dead or gone.

Empty seats on overbooked planes,

Unknown faces, unknown names.

Stumbling on, in broken chains,

You’re free to go, so tell me…

Tell me why do you still remain?

Liftoff forever, hear the rocket’s roar,

Gravity can’t hold us down any more.

I never thought that I’d lose her,

It’s only sixty seconds to Jupiter.

Oh,

Oh, no no no,

Sixty seconds to Jupiter.

“Audiophile in my headphones”

“A requiem for my voicemail”

“A message that I won’t remember”

“Life is fleeting, fake, and frail”

It’s not over, just over for some,

The soundtrack ends, our voices numb.

We feel our story in broken bones,

A final anthem for an empty home.

These vacant alleys of fallen steel,

This war inside we cannot conceal.

Beyond the edge of reason’s shore,

We’re left with who we were before.

We chase the horizon from afar,

Trying to recall what we are.

Just one more breath, my lungs are scarred,

Sixty seconds feels so far.

Liftoff forever, hear the rocket’s roar,

Gravity can’t hold us down any more.

I never thought that I’d lose her,

It’s only sixty seconds to Jupiter.

Counting down, counting slow,

I wanna leave but scared to go.

Our hearts in stasis, minds unsure,

Sixty seconds more to Jupiter.

Oh, oh, oh oh Jupiter,

Jupiter, oh,

Sixty seconds to Jupiter.

It’s only sixty seconds to…

(“Jupiter.”)
