billions upon us - bennett soddy lyrics

[verse 1]
morning news in passing glances
faces blur into the day
every street’s a thousand endings
happening in different ways
i move through like i’m borrowed time
disguised as borrowed sp*ce
so many lives still breathing
still i feel the ticking pace

[pre*chorus]
i don’t doubt that we are here
i doubt how long it stays
there’s a silence in the numbers
that no living voice can say

[chorus]
there are billions upon us
every second, every mile
but i count my world in moments
and the way you almost smile
if existence is a crowd scene
why does it feel rehe*rs*d?
there are billions upon us
and i’m scared of who leaves first
[verse 2]
a birthday marked by messages
from names i barely keep
proof that memory is fragile
and attention falls asleep
they say “mourn not the dead”
like it’s something i forgot
but knowing life is precious
doesn’t stop the afterthought

[pre*chorus]
it’s not death that i’m afraid of
it’s the blank beyond the frame
what we lose when all the counting
stops remembering our names

[chorus]
there are billions upon us
every voice is profound
but the ones that break my silence
could vanish without a sound
if connection’s just a moment
held against the universe
there are billions upon us
and i don’t know which is worse
[bridge]
maybe closeness is a shelter
from the questions we can’t solve
maybe love’s a small rebellion
against the great dissolve
i don’t need a grand conclusion
or a heaven drawn in lights
i just need to know if meaning
outlives bodies, days, and nights

[chorus]
there are billions upon us
every heartbeat claims its sp*ce
but i memorize the details
like they’ll matter past this place
if the future’s just a rumor
and the end’s a closing door
there are billions upon us
but i keep asking for more

[outro]
when the lights go out on cities
and the math is finally done
will we still be us in echoes
or reduced to what we’ve sung?
i won’t mourn the ones still breathing
i won’t waste the time i get
but living doesn’t stop me asking
after life… what is next?
