Distress Beacon

[Verse 1]
Static on the wire, a tremor in the air
I’m chasing down a frequency that says you’re out there
The constellations shifted, the map is split in two
I’m drifting through the silence of a sky that’s lost its blue
I checked the fuel, the seals, the locks, the bolts along the floor
But I can’t feel the rhythm of a heartbeat anymore
[Chorus]
So I’m sending out a distress beacon tonight
Cutting through the shadow with a cold, electric light
It’s a signal in the hollow, it’s a prayer into the dark
Looking for a landing or a small surviving spark
Can you hear the pulse? Can you see the glow?
I’m a distress beacon with nowhere left to go
[Verse 2]
The oxygen is thinning, the windows edged with ice
It’s strange how you discover truth at such a heavy price
I used to fear the distance, I used to fear the fall
Now I’m just a ghost ship skimming signals off the wall
I’m dialing every number, I’m shouting at the sun
Waiting on a response from a world that’s come undone
[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m sending out a distress beacon tonight
Cutting through the static with a cold, electric light
It’s a signal in the hollow, it’s a prayer into the dark
Looking for a landing or a small surviving spark
Can you hear the pulse? Can you see the glow?
I’m a distress beacon with nowhere left to go
[Bridge]
It’s not about the rescue, it’s not about the ground
It’s knowing that I mattered when I made this sound
More than failing systems, more than time and fear
Just tell me that the signal’s strong — tell me someone’s here
[Outro]
A distress beacon…
(The pulse grows weaker)
Just a flicker in the gray
Still calling…
Still calling…
Is anybody there?

Cinematic dark synth rock about isolation, survival, and being heard.
