I’m sick of my life and I’m sick of myself My screams are all silent as I beg for help I used to believe someone would come and save me But I was tricked by an unreachable dream I’m sick of this world and I’m sick of this place I need to get out, launch me into space Packed into apartments like rats in a cage I want this to end, move to a new stage When I’m watching TV I forget I exist It’s the closest I get to feeling true bliss Numbing my mind with distractions and games I don’t want to think about real life again Years have passed since I’ve been somewhere green I’m wasting my life living it through a screen Each day I wake up, same old routine Inside me builds up a primordial scream They’ll try to tell you that you’re sick in the head Why else would you wake up and wish you were dead? It can’t be because we’ve built this all wrong And I’ll never find the place where I belong

I was meant for something greater than this The stars call my name My time has come to see a whole new world And leave this all behind I’ll sign on, any job that you can give me I just need to be away from this place To see myself reflected in the vast skies A star millions of miles from the closest body We sail across the void In our light-speed spacecraft We watch our planet fade into dust And vanish in the dark We must ride the solar winds Cosmic rays and explosions And so it began Through the asteroid field we sail Among these monstrous stones so frail And so it will end We sail across the void In our light-speed spacecraft We watch our planet fade into dust And vanish into dark Into the open expanse of space Chasing light, the fastest race And so it began And if on our journey we should pass Throw our corpse to the stars to be free at last And so it will end We sail across the void In our light-speed spacecraft We watch our planet fade into dust And vanish into dark Our destination grows near And I am filled with fear What if it’s not all I had hoped? What if it’s just as bad or worse? Then on another planet I must reside, and I hope to find myself inside

Sold Out 02:49
It’s a million-mark advance Take your weapons and seize every room in that house Except that goddamn raft You use it as an outhouse Cause I got another message Calling me from the future Earth is taking her final breaths And I’m making my last dime When it’s over, I’ll get sober You’re waiting for someone I’m falling, you’re crawling And I’m telling you it’s just begun We crossed the deserted plain In the valley the tides were surging I could tell we were near the source My barbed wire friend appeared over there Exploding outwards The surface of a mirror A thousand shards of my life Scattered across a hundred worlds When it’s over, I’ll get sober You’re waiting for someone I’m falling, you’re crawling And I’m telling you it’s just begun

The weight of millions' years evolution A part of myself awakened Older than words. Older than language Crying out in pain and fear Why did we make this? This is not the way it's supposed to be Driven by instinct towards warmth and safety I can think of nothing else So cold. So dark. So ugly A place built of nightmares Why did we make this? This is not the way it's supposed to be Each of us born and dying alone Imprisoned in flesh and perception Clinging to each other Seeking a friendly outpost In a godless hostile universe Powerless within its awe and might Why am I here? I never asked for this Hell! Hell! Hell! We have created hell on earth Hell! Hell! Hell! We have created hell within hell
