lyrics

looking down at this blue marble
vacuum of space makes screams inaudible
the silence of space accelerates my fall from grace
floating aimlessly through emptiness leaves me fucking breathless
and to all my sins I must confess
eyes bulging from lack of oxygen
life flowing through me like a toxin
visions of existence like bad dreams
death can't be as good as it seems
laying in the heavens, knowing I'm going to hell
so many dark secrets I'll never tell
I've always pissed on 7's, worship the 13
my mistress, my dark queen

1,2,3,4 I don't belong in this world no more
5,6,7,8 for certain death I await

hitch a ride on a passing comet
think god's following me
maybe I'm just paranoid
because my darkness even he can't see
the planets stare as I come by
solitary bodies orbiting destruction
they know of death's seduction
gaze into their preserved corpses
the float in a black vacuum
the universe's still births
soon to be engulfed and absorbed
after so long being ignored
shooting stars assaulting the darkness but it doesn't matter, black is our monarch
light can't hope to win
its energy fizzles out
and that's the way its always been
darkness will prevail no doubt
cosmos expanding on time borrowed
soon the whole thing will implode
can't stop the inevitable, it's nonnegotiable
the beauty of the milky-way comes from knowing it can't stay
glowing stars and planets
that's temporary life that's been granted
one day the abyss will come and it's time to pay the reaper
he doesn't give shit back – he's a keeper

meditating in an asteroid field
white phosphorus burns behind my third eye
blinded by star dust
feel the solar wind burn the back of my neck
shooting plasma into my veins blood begins to boil
the flowing tentacles of a passing nebula wrapped around my neck
the weight of the universe is crushing
Jupiter tied around my ankle – dragging me down into a black hole
prepared for oblivion I watch the stars as they gaze at my demise
worm holes open and close – like blinking eyes
they look so welcoming, offering me escape
seducing me with interdimensional salvation
I politely decline as I fall further and further
descending into the void something new becomes clear
I won't be alone down here
like flies in a spider's web I pass planets and stars being consumed
universe cannibalizing itself
we'll all be excreted as broken down matter
but it doesn't matter, when I'm gone there's no new dawn
all motion ceases, frozen in time
the universe's discarded pawn
wash me in death, cleanse me from existence
you'll get no resistance
I've relived this moment a thousand times
