I don't want to live

Nor do I want to die

I just want to float away

To escape from this warfare

I want to be one with the sun

Away from Earth

Where the grass is green on the surface

But underneath lies flesh-eating maggots

Dragging my moving corpse to the dirt with them

Venus doesn't provide the love it claims it has

Yet I crave it like a drug

Yet I lie to my naked flesh that I'll find it one day

But I can't find my glasses

I look to the stars, bright and big as the future

Yet impossibly far away

The Lord has done no harm

But I still feel it so often

I ask to go away, to reach the stars

Yet I jump and fall short

Because I'm too poor

And I'm too weak

To consider myself human

 

Take me to the stars, oh Lord

Take me to the stars
