[Intro – Soft Piano, Distant Ambient Noise]
A pale blue dot in the dark unknown
Spinning quiet, all alone
We drew the lines, we claimed the land
Like we could shape it with our hands
[Verse 1]
We built our towers to the sky
Watched the oceans slowly rise
Turned the forests into flame
Still we said it’s not our blame
We chased the stars for somewhere new
Like there’s another world in view
But every map we try to read
Leads us back to what we need
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep pretending there’s a place to run
But every road begins and ends in one
[Refrain]
Are you telling me
There is no planet B
(Really)
I guess we all forgot
This is all we’ve got
(Why? Why not?)
[Chorus]
Oh, no planet B
(We chart our destiny)
Woe, oh no planet B
(Just planet A… what else can I say?)
Oh, no planet B
(No reset, no guarantee)
Woe, oh no planet B
(It’s slipping away)
[Verse 2 – Drums + Bass Enter]
Every warning in the air
Still we act like we don’t care
Every headline, every sign
Draws a sharper, thinner line
We debate while seconds pass
Future buried in the past
Every choice we fail to make
Is another risk we take
[Pre-Chorus]
If we keep waiting for a better plan
We might not get another chance to stand
[Refrain]
Are you telling me
There is no planet B
(Really)
I guess we all forgot
This is all we’ve got
(Why? Why not?)
[Chorus]
Oh, no planet B
(We chart our destiny)
Woe, oh no planet B
(Just planet A… what else can I say?)
Oh, no planet B
(No backup we can see)
Woe, oh no planet B
(It’s slipping away)
[Bridge – Breakdown, Piano + Atmospheric Synth]
We reach for rockets, reach for space
While losing touch with this one place
Dreaming of escape velocity
Ignoring our reality
We had the answer all along
But we kept choosing what was wrong
Now every second, every breath
Feels like we’re bargaining with death
[Build – Full Band Rising]
Can we turn before the end?
Can we break or can we bend?
Is there time to change the way
Or is this where we fade away?
[Final Chorus – Big, Layered Vocals]
Oh, no planet B
(We chart our destiny)
Woe, oh no planet B
(Just planet A… what else can I say?)
Oh, no planet B
(No second chance to see)
Woe, oh no planet B
(Don’t throw it away)
[Outro – Piano + Fading Ambient Noise]
Are you telling me…
There is no planet B…
(Really…)
[Silence]
