Transmit
Black Sky Research Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

My dear, I’m calling out to you
I’m trying, fighting to get a message through
Out on my own, I soldier on, you’re always on my mind
It cuts me up, when shit went down, that you were all alone
And I’m not sure what I’m expecting yet to find
I’m just not ready for goodbyes

Can you feel my heart, beating out of my chest?
I won’t rest, until I know, you made it out alive

My dear, it’s been six days and still no word
I’m running out of power now and soon I’ll not be heard
But I will try, just one more time, to shout into the night
And with it goes, the little hope, I held for you and I
Just know I love you always, I need you by my side
I hope that this is not goodbye

Can you feel my heart, beating out of my chest?
I feel blessed, just to know, you made it out alive

Far away as the maelstrom rages on, you still cling to life

Take a leap into infinite danger, you are worth the while
Even if it kills me searching, I’m prepared to try





Can you feel my heart, beating out of my chest?
I feel blessed, just to know, you made it out alive
