Redshift Horizon from Redshift Horizon by Spiral Island ft. Danielle Ellen

I set a course towards a star
I picked out of the sky
And set my ship on autopilot

And I shot into the unknown
Left a dying earth below
I was glad to find someone close by

Now I want to say goodbye
Let’s give this one more try
Before I cross the redshift horizon

For a while it looked like the same heading
Parallel, we could almost start forgetting

We set out separately
Cuz we wanted this desperately

We used to look back at the setting sun
Sharing messages, I kept every one

The latency increased
With every single ping (ping, ping, ping)

Until we were trading letters
Like explorers, like stranded settlers
A whole world away
With nothing more to say

Now I want to say goodbye
Just this one more time
Before I cross the redshift horizon
Don’t reply, because it might be too late
The chasm grows too great
For light to reach across the redshift horizon

The mile marker where we split
Is deep in the rearview mirror
Lost in the heat shimmer of our late stage universe

Our roads diverged with no U-turns
Our days together are faded memories now
I just remember remembering, as I jettison everything else

Now I want to say goodbye
One final time
As I cross the redshift horizon
Don’t reply, cuz it’s already too late
The space has grown too wide
For even light to reach across the redshift horizon
