lyrics

You were a fixed point
In the solar system
I was an astronaut deployed
A shuttle on a mission

Another trip around the sun
Fades like the afterglow
Does it fade for everyone
Poets always know

We try to catch the light
And find that we're inadequate
Is the answer in the quiet
When words fail to resonate

Black holes & expectations
Collide like dominoes
Will they dance like constellations
Poets always know

Exploding stars that sink
In a well of gravity
We're not stronger than we think
We're as strong as it should be

I know you can't believe it
The war's already won
I know you love to see it
The Lorde's work is never done

Waves you follow in the dark
Like negatives exposed
Can you trace them in the Sparks
Poets always know
