Gen Red Lyrics by Jay Summer

Shade

2021

[Verse 1]
Mars looked so beautiful
In the brochure
Rust on a garden
A desert resort
We all want vacation
From shit we created
And turned to the heavens when
The air turned exhaust

[Verse 2]
My family scraped just enough
For one to escape
Sweet like a lemon
They gave it to me
We wept at the launch pad
Liftoff at sunset
Earth looked so beautiful
62 miles up

[Chorus 1]
This is peak innovation
It's is peak exploration
It's peak innovation
The Red Generation
A Holy migration
As-salaam alaikum
It's peak innovation
The Red Generation

[Verse 3]
Been a few years since the comms were up
Radiation changing up my DNA
Every bridge
Erode from dust to dust
Like most of us

[Verse 4]
But I still got a couple shadows of ya
Playing up and down the walls
Times I hadn't thought to mention
Revolve
And print themselves on all these faces
Oasis in the sand
Mirages twist and bend
Back to Stone in Focus
Back to rows of solar arrays
Rows and rows of solar rays
Drift in through my shower window
Like a floodlight
Hit my face
Jets mist off my shoulder
Closest that I get to rain out here
But I'll take it
I still hold hope for human race
But human nature ain't afraid of space ships

[PreChorus]
And weighing less is wasted on me
Weighing less is wasted on me
Weighing less
Weighing less

[Chorus 2]
The isolation weighs on me
We're on our own
Go and terraform
