Edge of Tomorrow

There’s nothing but night sky above me, a colony built on the moon
The darkness has always been lovely, but tonight it descended too soon
The planets are only projections, the atmosphere is just a dome
The stars have no imperfections, that’s how I know I’m not home

Here at the edge of tomorrow, my beautiful dreams come to die
Here at the edge of tomorrow, I bid those illusions goodbye

At dawn I walk off through the crater that used to be a mountain range
I lie down at the equator and beg for the seasons to change
The plains of this world are so empty, they’re flat as an infinite sea
The wasteland is ever so tempting, from afar isolation looks free

Time is not on my side anymore, I knew it was too good to last
The future is not what it looked like before, a bad replica of the past

We thought that this was a desert, so we didn’t plan for the flood
Everyone is gonna get hurt, but not everyone pays in blood
The rest of us find a new station, and build a new life underground
But it’s just a poor recreation of what we see when we look down

Here at the edge of tomorrow, my sanity hangs by a thread
Here at the edge of tomorrow, a fine line between living and dead
