Staring down the hallway
Celestial bodies overhead
Oh, what can I say
Besides wishing I was dead
This corridor spans lightyears
& At the far end I see all of my fears
Waving at the end like a friend you haven't seen in a while
In my throat, all I taste is bile
I start to choke
I don't know if I should leave a note
I've got a long journey ahead
One that might be filled with dread
I've got nine stars to visit
Before my time comes
Hold my body, my one & only
It might be naughty but my brain's rotting
I need to detach, astral projection
Is the only answer, I'll wilt like a flower
My mental garden begins to flow with weeds
I only wish that this stardust could plant seeds
I'm sick of being this way
I only want to be one with cosmic waves
They understand me
They're my one & only
Envelop me with warmth
Just don't burn me too long
Touch the stars, read the signs
Grasp my love with blinding light
Blind me, I don't wanna see anymore
Your brightness outshines the bombs from our wars
This safe space in space allows me to soar
It begs me & pleads me to come back for more
I can't keep coming back
I'm running out of mental energy
Resources I lack
I don't wanna flee
I think I'm lost up here
But I can see the stratosphere in the distance
Chart a new course with sorrowful precision
Touch the stars, read the signs
Grasp my love with blinding light
Coming back to earth for what I fear might be the very last time
If I ever left the ground again I might not return to this life
It's not my choice, I don't wanna be here anyway
But I know I can't run away
I'm tethered here by obligations so severe
This ball & chain on my remains
Is forcing me to lay & stare at the clear sky
Watch the stars roll by
They taunt me, showing me
What I could've had
What I want so bad
But I just cant abandon that what makes me brings me down
Held to the ground, there's a metal bar resting on my throat
I start to choke
I wonder if I wrote that note?
I'm processing
My journey's come to end
Albeit a bitter one, but isn't that how stories go?
My travels span astronomical units
Into the cosmos
The depths of space will know my name
To the stars & beyond the grave
I have stared into the abyss
It held my hand & it blew me a kiss
I've got the darkness in my pocket
& I've got pictures of the observatory in my locket
I'm processing
My journey's come to end
Albeit a bitter one, but isn't that how stories go?
My travels span astronomical units
Into the cosmos
The depths of space will know my name
To the stars & beyond the grave
