Lyrics
Hey, it's me. At the Morrison Bridge terminal, half-past ten.
I've got a plan to find you, clear the noise floor, try again.
We'll ditch the public grid, go dark on every app you've got.
I'll send a single coded ping from my grandfather's signal plot.
[Chorus]
Call it dead reckoning, a private line of sight.
Just a heading and a half-life, glowing in the night.
Just two points in the static, a secret we can keep.
A sounding in the silence, while the whole damn city's asleep.
[Verse 2]
Remember what you said about the maps? "They make the world too small."
How every corner's been reviewed, nothing left to find at all.

Where the shipping lanes get shallow and my mother's house is found.
[Chorus]
Call it dead reckoning, a private line of sight.
Just a heading and a half-life, glowing in the night.
Just two points in the static, a secret we can keep.
A sounding in the silence, while the whole damn city's asleep.
[Bridge]
Look, I know this sounds… a lot. Like some decoded dispatch brief.
It's just… I miss the feeling of a genuine belief.
[Outro]
Anyway. Call me back. Or… or don't. Just… yeah.
