Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
[Intro]
[instrumental]

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:23,520
[Verse 1]
The words still ring, a fractured chime,
Through sterile air and fading time.

3
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:30,880
Dark matter’s harvest, a whispered dread,
Unraveling the world ahead.

4
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,760
Meetings blurred, deals turned to dust,
A pointless chase, betrayed by trust.

5
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:44,800
[Chorus]
And I can't do this, not anymore,
When spacetime cracks and falls before.

6
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:51,680
The weight of moments, cold and deep,
Pulling me down while others sleep.

7
00:00:51,680 --> 00:01:05,760
Just a few hours… just a little space...
To find my solace, find my place.

8
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,800
[Verse 2]
A slipcom pressed, a screen so bright,
Changing the course of fading light.

9
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:20,320
No promises now, no future gain,
Only the pull to ease the pain.

10
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:28,640
Hours wasted, a hollow plea,
Just family waiting…waiting for me.

11
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:35,920
[Bridge]
Two hours left, a fragile thread,
To reach their warmth, to banish dread.

12
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,800
A fleeting glimpse of smiles so true,
The love I almost let slip through.

13
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:50,080
Too busy chasing, blind and fast,
Ignoring moments meant to last.

14
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,960
[Chorus]
And I can't do this, not anymore,
When spacetime cracks and falls before.

15
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:19,840
The weight of moments, cold and deep,
Pulling me down while others sleep.

16
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:34,000
Just a few hours… just a little space...
To find my solace, find my place.

17
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,040
[Verse 3]
The engines hum, a steady drone,
But something’s shifted, overthrown.

18
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:48,320
A flicker in the sun's harsh glare,
An unnatural light beyond compare.

19
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:55,120
The cabin stills, a frozen scene,
While chaos whispers, sharp and keen.

20
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:02,160
[Bridge]
What was that tremor? What is this fear?
A creeping darkness drawing near.

21
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:09,520
The captain’s voice, a fragile lie,
“Under control,” as moments fly.

22
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Mountains rising, jagged and cold,
A story ending, left untold.

23
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,600
[Chorus]
And I can't do this, not anymore,
When spacetime cracks and falls before.

24
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:30,480
The weight of moments, cold and deep,
Pulling me down while others sleep.

25
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:41,280
Just a few hours… just a little space...
But there’s no solace, no place.

26
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:50,400
[Outro]
I couldn't make it… I couldn't make it…
