Leave This Place

I wish for a way to leave this place
A vehicle that can travel through time and space
Take me to an alien land
No humanity away from man
Among the stars I journey alone
No direction, a place unknown
To take me away far from here
What lies beyond I have no fear
Take me to an alien land
No humanity away from man
Among the stars I journey alone
No direction, a place unknown
Past our planets
Past the belt
Past the cloud
Where the stars have dwelt
Then leave the plane
Of the Milky Way
The local cluster
I break away
To live and to die
Out there in space
Away from all life
Away from disgrace
Through gas and dust
This journey’s a must
My wanderlust
Traveling through
The cosmic brew
Make life anew
Amongst the objects drifting for ages
Where plasma and gas forever rages
I will find my place in the universe
The song of the cosmos will be my verse
I wish for a way to leave this place
A vehicle that can travel through time and space
Take me to an alien land
No humanity away from man
Among the stars I journey alone
No direction, a place unknown

Infinite Disillusion
03:58

I look out on the night sky
So vast and deep I wonder why
All the violence others don’t decry
Their destiny I will defy
Soon to be a memory
My despair
They will find I’ve left behind
My disrepair
Packed up ready to embark
Leave here without a mark
On my own personal ark
Searching for a spark
Time to fly into the sky
The life I yearn
Into space with a hastened pace
Never to return
Faster and faster I fall into the abyss
Will I survive this fateful trip?
Coming out the other side
Passing through the great divide
To seek a place of tranquility
Find a world without hostility
Time after time
Grief left behind
Searching for life
Nothing but strife
A life in vain
All life in pain
I started with hope in sight
To find a world where love is might
Only for my dreams to perish
There's no life to cherish
Expect too much you’ll feel the touch
Of dismay
The universe is averse
To serenity

Cosmic Knot
04:43
|

I wonder deeply about existence
About what it means to be alive
A complex series of events
Leads to a universe that is both dead and alive
My thoughts exist in my head
Maybe to stay but likely to wisp away
Are the motions and actions
Thoughts and ideas of the cosmos holograms?
A preprogrammed eternity
Or does there exist true randomness?
Do we have a future that does not yet exist?
As we travel through space
We must travel through time
The secret laws of nature
Do not need to be divine
Each moment we live
Is a moment that’s gone
A memory now past
To reflect upon
What’s the point of having a future?
If it’s only to die?
Is it worth the brief bit of happiness
If it means having to cry
On the line of infinity
Our lives are only a dot
Entangled in the fabric of space
Everything lost in a knot
I wonder deeply about existence
About what it means to be alive
A complex series of events
Leads to a universe that is both dead and alive
My thoughts exist in my head
Maybe to stay but likely to wisp away

Impossible Universe
05:30

Infinitely dense, no dimension
No surroundings, no extension
After nothing , before something
Expansion started, energy gushing
What was before?
Was it eternally dark?
Or is time cyclic
Without a start?
In an instant the universe started
Did it happen before? Or was this uncharted?
Many years later particles condensed
Out of nothing matter was dispensed
What was before?
Was it eternally dark?
Or is time cyclic
Without a start?
A canvas of infinity
With particle affinity
Fields of force pervade all space
Pushing matter at a hastened pace
Each atom each particle
From the beginning
Has existed in our world
Where did it exist before?
How is there space?
How is there matter?
How does anything exist at all?
We cannot comprehend nothing
A single point to a giant sphere
14 billion years to make it here
What was before?
Was it eternally dark?
Or is time cyclic
Without a start?
Astronomical nomenclature
Try to define forces of nature
Try to explain by formula
Mysterious phenomena
Everything we experience
Everything we see
Is nothing more
Than our perception
A limited narrow view
Of an infinite universe
Incomprehensible
To our minds
But it does not stop me
From wondering how it came to be
To look into the eyes of eternity
Let my mind wander to be free

The Briefest Moment
05:35
|
|||
|
There is no next time around
No second chances are abound
No way to make up what you regret
For things only death lets you forget
Behind your life an infinite tree
What could have been you'll never see
There's no way to repeat your existence
Life does not have eternal persistence
Throughout your life the decisions you make
Put the rest of your life at stake
Behind your life an infinite tree
What could have been you'll never see
You will not get another chance
To live a different dance
Living only for an instant
In a moment you're nonexistent
Life's not fair
But who's to care?
For it's all your
Burden to bear
Never seeing
Never feeling
Never hearing
Never knowing
What the future will end up being
You do not get the right to see
All the knowledge that is to be
To find answers to the questions
That contradict our perceptions
No one to blame
No one to resent
No one to accuse
No one to hate
For making our life be this way
To worry about what is after
There is only one true answer
To live your life as you see fit
Because in the end this is it

Entanglement
04:49
|
|||
|
There are constants in the universe
Death, suffering, sadness, and pain
All other beings cannot refrain
Somewhere out there some feel despair
Experience all sentient life share
The start of life in the universe
Implies that life must always disperse
A billion light years across the sky
A tragedy has made someone cry
A billion times for every moment
A being goes through endless torment
Life requires destruction
For some life to succeed other life has to fail
Misery is built into the fabric of life and of death
I can see across galaxies
I can know across vast distances
I can feel across space and time
I can tell what existence is
I know what all life thinks
I know what all life feels
I know what all life experiences
I know what life reveals
I weep for life everywhere
For the amount of the pain there
Continuous events that make life tragic
Never ending always traumatic
The universe does not care if there is strife
Maybe it would be better if there were no life
Across the vast expanse of both time and space
For all life to no longer exist someplace
