Nine on the Bortle
Smoke clouds have thickened to black out the stars
The night sky is lit now by headlights of cars
And the moon holds no purpose but pulling the tides anymore
Blow out the candles
Blow out the candles
Throw on the light switch and bask in the fluorescent glow
We're guided by satellites, we don't need stars anymore
Can't see stars anymore
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost
The streetlights have killed them
The streetlights have killed them
We've laid to rest gods in a tomb born of city lights
And out in the flatlands, we thought that we'd found them
But still the horizon did glow like a brush fire
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
And the moon holds no purpose
'Cept pulling the tides on a planet encrusted in fluorescent lights
Smoke clouds have thickened to black out the stars
The night sky is lit now by headlights of cars
And the moon holds no purpose 'cept pulling the tides anymore
300 miles we'd sail off the coast
To be reunited with the skies of our hosts
And at night, soon the rivers reflect nothing more than the moon
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost
300 miles, 300 miles out into the ocean we'd sail to remember them
300 miles out into the ocean we'd sail
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
And the moon holds no purpose
'Cept pulling the tides on a planet encrusted in fluorescent lights
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost
Nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
With less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost
Nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
With less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost
Nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
With less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost!
The night sky is lit now by headlights of cars
And the moon holds no purpose but pulling the tides anymore
Blow out the candles
Blow out the candles
Throw on the light switch and bask in the fluorescent glow
We're guided by satellites, we don't need stars anymore
Can't see stars anymore
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost
The streetlights have killed them
The streetlights have killed them
We've laid to rest gods in a tomb born of city lights
And out in the flatlands, we thought that we'd found them
But still the horizon did glow like a brush fire
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
And the moon holds no purpose
'Cept pulling the tides on a planet encrusted in fluorescent lights
Smoke clouds have thickened to black out the stars
The night sky is lit now by headlights of cars
And the moon holds no purpose 'cept pulling the tides anymore
300 miles we'd sail off the coast

And at night, soon the rivers reflect nothing more than the moon
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost
300 miles, 300 miles out into the ocean we'd sail to remember them
300 miles out into the ocean we'd sail
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
And the moon holds no purpose
'Cept pulling the tides on a planet encrusted in fluorescent lights
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns

We're lost
Nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
With less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost
Nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
With less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost
Nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
With less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost!
