Lyrics:
airplanes above
space full of trash
the lights in the sky they move
a galactic dance

the constellations
constant changes
and i am a tiny light
dwarfed by these mountains
and the roar of jet engines
and the milky way
miles away
and the trash that floats all around

when will they collide
lighting up the sky
all around and around
will they never leave
will they always be
around and around

can we not escape
this mess that we made
all of the earth belongs
to sky that surrounds

our eyes are spinning
from the stars theyre holding
and i am a tiny light
dwarfed by these mountains
and the roar of jet engines
and the milky way
miles away
and the trash that floats all around

when will they collide
lighting up the sky
all around and around
will they never leave
will they always be
around and around

and around … and around
