Divergence

Lie still
Don’t make a sound
Be alone
All alone

Flashing light
Marks my progress
Counting, counting
Till I’m done

It’s never done
Reaching out for you
Reaching out for life
Slipping away

Flashes of light
Mark my progress
Counting, counting
Till I’m done

And who can say
Why this is the reality
That we must own
The stars incline us
They don’t bind us
I didn’t ask for this
It’s not my life
Out of place
Out of control

Pinpricks of light
Galaxies fade
Within my time
A new way of life

Look to the distance
It’s hard to see
The way around
We must go through

Lie still
Don’t make a sound
Be alone
All alone

Flashes of light
Mark my progress
Counting, counting
Till I’m done

And who can say
Why this is the reality
That we must own
The stars incline us
They don’t bind us
I didn’t ask for this
It’s not my life
Out of place
Out of control

Pinpricks of light
Galaxies fade
Within my time
A new way of life
A new way of life
We must go through
