Space Drip (A Space Opera)

lyrics

The sinking terrain of this stranded planet
tallies the brain beneath a dead nun's habit
gray and stained with the ashes of the bandits
sent here to steal the gold of souls and granite
Meteorite Bombardment that enters the mantle
through mammoth convection A tantalizing target
for future extraction of metallic perfection
subsisting in stasis evolution injunction

Oiling my hinges and tightening my bolts
embroiled with witches, lightening and cults
Hugo and nebula can't even catch me here
you know my nightly route so take the yoke and steer.
While I track the movements of terrene drawing near
occupying space less inhabitable
rearranged my face till it's forgettable-
blasting off, wings aloft, watch me disappear
-
With distance we can see the whole in it's perfection
planets and lives, galaxies and hives
up close it's all stones & dirt, day to day, dragging, hurt,
locked into the pace of the rock-face rat-race

light speed, I need, space drift, I wish, rocket ship, we've got lift
light speed, I need, space drift, I wish, rocket ship, we've got lift
trust the thrust in the launch trigger

Listening to the whales in the sub galactic front
glisten in the trails of technocratic funk
pissing on the jails of the master race's bunk
fission in the grail that overflows the cup
My chasm bleeds phantasm on inactive light year rations
sustenance is futile, enjoy em while you have em
life seed is metal mercury and spittle pointillized
in atoms, electron nucleus and shadows

this message superluminal to the black-hole of Clementia
lost lament to media, and Athena's antenna
