Whenever I gaze into the stars
I’m frightened of what lies beyond
That fate is bound by eternity
Dreamed by the Gods in space or at the depths of the sea
They’re coming to take us all
It’s the end of who we truly are
The truth is we were always insignificant
To eternity and the masters of reality
I feel I could fall into the depths of space
The earth spinning queasily below me
And all this pleasure and pain is for nothing
Inconsequential to the bigger questions
The times I’ve struggled to be free
The truth is it never really mattered
Compared to the limitless out there
All of our existence is on borrowed time
They’re coming to take it all
Including our sanity
And here I sit in a padded cell
The screams out there
Sound like I’m in the depths of hell
They’re coming to take me away…
