Supernova

(album: Yonder - 2022)

Let's watch the sun set
Flip a coin and make a bet
On if it'll ever rise again
New horizons in sight now
We nurture a flame that won't die down
Even a lack of oxygen won't make it flicker out

Like a supernova
Content on burning it down until hell freezes over
Wish I would have told you
That you're killing yourself and you won't be getting older
Imploding just like a supernova
You'll be stardust when it's over

No matter what the future holds
Time is a river and the river must flow
Dam it up and we will know
When the gears all stop, the hands will slow
'Til the clock falls off the wall
And shatters on the ground when it hits the floor
Like an hourglass on its side
Cracks appear in the glass once more

Cracks appear in the glass once more

But this reflection of mine is not one I've seen before
It's indelible time, where your shadow takes the same shape as mine

Like a supernova
Content on burning it down until hell freezes over
Wish I would have told you
That you're killing yourself and you won't be getting older
Imploding just like a supernova
You'll be stardust when it's over

Had enough, had it all
In the atmosphere, no fear at all
Save our souls before we fall
The time is near, the curtain calls
It falls down

Imploding just like a supernova

Like a supernova
Content on burning it down until hell freezes over
Wish I would have told you
That you're killing yourself and you won't be getting older
Imploding just like a supernova
You'll forget me any minute now

No matter what the future holds
Time is a river and the river must flow
Dam it up and we will know
When the gears all stop, the hands will slow
'Til the clock falls off the wall
And shatters on the ground when it hits the floor
Like an hourglass on its side
Cracks appear in the glass once more

You know
I cannot escape you
Can't persuade you
Put your hands up
Put it in view
You know
I cannot evade you
Can't erase you
This is the end of you

This is the end
This is the end of you
