Lyrics and translation
Original
I set my soul to exquisite black
I stole the crescent moon, you'll never get it back
And now I'm all alone
It's not ideal to be shunned
But I hope, I hope that it's worth it
I've seen the shine, I've seen the cracks
I know the toll it takes, that weight upon my back
It's compressed all my bones
You're all starting to move on
But I won't, I won't admit it
I can see, I can see a bright light (stick it out, stick it out)
Receding in the distance, I never reach it in time (stick it out, stick it out)
No, I'm not coming home
I'll be out here 'til I'm done (stick it out, stick it out)
And I won't, I won't ever settle (stick it out, stick it out)
I've seen the black and I've seen the white (stick it out, stick it out)
I hold my leftest hand a minute from my right (stick it out, stick it out)
Virtually comatose
So I reach out for someone (stick it out, stick it out)
But I know, I still won't settle
This is too special
We believe in the concept
We defy the impossible
We undertook the research
And watched it play out
This ship is built to last
Woe is me, wow is you
This ship is built to last
Woe is me, wow is you
I know, I know we're closing in (promise me, promise you)
There's a special place out there
It's a place we've never seen (promise me, promise you)
Ignore the call of home
The calls of anyone (promise me, promise you)
And I know we'll always be together (promise me, promise you)
I lit the fire, I burned the night (promise me, promise you)
Keep asking questions 'til I fucking get it right (promise me, promise you)
I know that there's a place
But I haven't found it yet (promise me, promise you)
And I won't, I won't ever settle
'Cause this is too special
We believe in the concept
We defy the impossible
We undertook the research
And watched it play out
This ship is built to last
Woe is me, wow is you
This ship is built to last
Woe is me, wow is you
Woe is me, wow is you
Woe is me, wow is you
We believe in the concept
We defy the impossible
We undertook the research
And watched it play out
This ship is built to last
Woe is me, wow is you
This ship is built to last
Woe is me, wow is you
Woe is me, wow is you
Woe is me, wow is you
