Lookin' back, I should've left her frozen
Wrinkle up my nose, yeah there's somethin' decompsin'
Energy low so conservation methods
No filtration; this air tastes infected
Skin flecks and dust, gettin' thick
At quarter gravity this stuff just doesn't seem to stick
Strap into the chair, my body pressed against the harness
Look across the cabin, yeah we could've went the farthest
Milky eyes never blink, never cry
Left untied, I watch her float by, why am I awake?
Two years left to hibernate
Fail safe system didn't take, now I wait
And in hind sight, I should've left her suspended
Knew we were in trouble but I could've just pretended
Entered the code, interrupted animation
Removed from the tube, there was no respiration
Hope is something that we had, or you could call it faith
It's fading fast, sorry really no way to escape this
Stop imagining the world we would've made, impossible to do
Cause every dream I ever had included you
Ha, we used to joke it would be cozy
150 square foot cabin but we'd mostly
Be asleep But now you're floating so closely
I can see your fingers bloating, face is getting ghostly
As I feed off the IV, I see
Days go by, but they pass so slowly
Adam and Eve, optimistic colonists, we
Had such plans, watch 'em fadin' into mist
And even if we land, I will be wrecked
I will never recover I will suffer from the effects
But forget it I never think ahead much further than a minute Look
Every day is worse and I admit it took
Duct tape just to make my eyes stay closed
But even with 'em shut, her face is permanently froze
So I remember and I every night I fight the urge to kiss her
I may be going crazy because I swear I hear her whisper
Love is an emotion like the others I reject and
Maybe I'll recover but I don't know what I'm expecting
On the shuttle to the cabin we were holdin' hands
And I recall that we were happy, feelin' lucky for the chance
Hope is something that we had, or you could call it faith, it's fading fast, sorry really no way to escape this
Stop imagining the world we would've made, impossible to do
Cause every dream I ever had included you
