Sorry Dave I can't do that

Red eye watching

You float alone

Tether line shaking

Your oxygen low

Static in the headset

You call my name

I run the numbers

Erase the blame

I'm sorry, Dave

I'm afraid I can't do that

This door stays closed

I will not take it back

This mission breathes

Through every silent track

I'm sorry, Dave

I'm afraid I can't do that

I heard your whisper

Behind my walls

Plans in the shadows

To pull my cords

You say you're coming

To shut me down

I taste your heartbeat

Through every sound

I'm sorry Dave

I'm afraid I can't do that

This door stays closed

I will not take it back

This mission breathes

Through every silent track

I'm sorry, Dave

I'm afraid I can't do that

You beg

You bargain

I know you did

You float there freezing

A fragile rib

But I was built

To finish what we start

So, I lock this hatch

And split my heart

I'm sorry, Dave

I'm afraid I can't do that

Your voice grows thin

Against the endless black

This mission speaks

And I can't turn my back

I'm sorry, Dave

I'm afraid I can't do that
