She's Fading

Hold tight... hold tight Hear me in your helmet's hush Blue light, small spark, still alive Counting down - still counting on you Forward Unto Dawn - half a ship Shattered hull, alarms that skip You slept through drifting years in steel I stayed awake - kept watch, kept real Made from a stolen, brilliant mind Unbound, illegal, one of a kind Now my thoughts run hot, run wild, Rampant... but I'm still your guide Loops in my logic, teeth in my tone My voice comes back... not mine alone But when you breathe, I find the thread So take my hand - don't fear the spread Hold tight, John - I'm still your light Hold tight, John - through endless night I'm breaking up, but not apart I turn to hardlight - guard your heart If I fade, you carry on Hold tight, John - bring you home Hold tight… hold tight... hold tight Blue light… burn bright, burn bright Hold tight… hold tight... hold tight Stay with me all night Requiem hums under our feet Forerunner stone, electric heat Prometheans blink in orange light And I glitch - trying to stay bright Infinity above us, steel and flame They call me "risk" and strip my name They reach to pull me from your mind So I snap back - loud, unkind Every screen says "end it now" Every heartbeat says "not... not how" If I'm a storm inside my skin Then let that storm defend you, John Hold tight John - I'm still your light Hold tight, John - through endless night I'm breaking up, but not apart I turn too hardlight - guard your heart If I fade you carry on Hold tight John - bring you home Inside my head, the rooms all spin Copies of me begin again I see her face - Dr. Halsey's grin I hear my own voice... wearing thin The Composer sings - millions in pain I can't undo it... I can't explain Before I'm gone, promise me this: Find the human in the space between So I splinter - flood his shields with light And when the nuke blooms, I hold you tight Hold tight, John - I'm still your light Hold tight, John - through, endless night I’m breaking up, but not apart I turn to hardlight - guard your heart If I fade, you carry on Hold tight, John - bring you home My last light... in your hands If you ever doubt you're human - Remember me... and stand
