Verse:
Exiled from my homeland
Now uninhabitable
Betrayed by my own kind
Their greed instatiable
PreChorus:
The void all around me
Seeking asylum, hopeless
A trajectory towards entropy
Cast into infinite darkness
Chorus:
Breaching new frontiers in this vacuum of death
Claustrophobia sets in but I must push on
Each passing second tears from me another breath
Primordial fear overcomes me, realizing I was wrong
-scream-
Verse:
Confined in isolation
My sanity slips away
Tormented by my reflection
Of my existence itself
PreChorus:
My vision is fading. (Sight blacks out.)
The ship has stopped moving. (In an ocean of stars.)
Reach for Andromeda shaking. (Suffocation.)
In disillusionment.
Chorus:
Breaching new frontiers in this vacuum of death
Claustrophobia sets in but I must push on
Each passing second tears from me another breath
Primordial fear overcomes me, realizing I was wrong
Bridge:
There is no hope for salvation it is just a farce
Life is a means to an end, an ironic survival
Showing that self awareness and intellect are scarce
And yet we still strive for a worthless life eternal
