[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns to burn down the barns
And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 2]
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns to burn down the barns
And the moon holds no purpose
'Cept pulling the tides on a planet encrusted in fluorescent lights

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus 1]
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns to burn down the barns
And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost

[Verse 6]
300 miles, 300 miles out into the ocean
We'd sail to remember them
300 miles out into the ocean we'd sail
[Chorus 2]
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns to burn down the barns
And the moon holds no purpose
'Cept pulling the tides on a planet encrusted in fluorescent lights

[Chorus 1]
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns to burn down the barns
And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
We're lost

[Chorus 3]
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
(Blow out the candles, blow out the candles)
Smashed all the lanterns to burn down the barns
(Throw on the light switch and bask in the fluorescent glow)
And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
(We're guided by satellites, we don't need stars anymore, can't see stars anymore)
We're lost

[Chorus 4]
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
Smashed all the lanterns to burn down the barns
And the moon holds no purpose
'Cept pulling the tides on a planet encrusted in fluorescent lights
(And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark)
We're lost
[Chorus 5]
With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
(The streetlights have killed them, the streetlights have killed them)
Smashed all the lanterns to burn down the barns
(We've laid to rest gods in a tomb born of city lights)
And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
(And out in the flatlands, we thought that we'd found them. But still, the horizon did glow like a brush fire)
(And the moon holds no purpose 'cept pulling the tides on a planet encrusted in fluorescent lights)
We're lost!
