ALL SYSTEMS A GO

Red sky
Black wires
Ash prints on the back of my hands
You say
“this is progress”
I say it looks like a graveyard that finally stands

Static prayers on a cracked screen
Dog tags hanging from the rearview
I taste rust in the water
And I swear it still tastes like you

[Chorus]
All systems are go
While the world falls slow
We light the fuse and call it hope (call it hope)
All systems are go
Into the undertow
We ride the end like it’s a joke
All systems are go

[Verse 2]
You carve saints in the drywall
Halo made of cigarette burns
I laugh
You bare your teeth
Saying
“every sweet thing rots in its turn”

Blood moon over the strip mall
Crows perched high on the cross
We toast fear like cheap wine
Drink deep to the beauty of loss (oh)

[Chorus]
All systems are go
While the world falls slow
We light the fuse and call it hope (call it hope)
All systems are go
Into the undertow
We ride the end like it’s a joke
All systems are go

[Bridge]
[Female vocal
Harsh]
Kneel in the glow of the failed machine
Say your vows to the dead routine
Every warning was a love song
Low
Every scar another launch code

[Male vocal
Sung]
Count it down
Three… two… breathe
If this is doom
It’s ours to leave

[Chorus]
All systems are go
While the world falls slow
We light the fuse and call it hope (call it hope)
All systems are go
Into the undertow
We ride the end like it’s a joke
All systems are go (all systems)
All systems are go
