Citizen of Earth

Citizen wake up!
The line forms at the foot of your bed,
follow your fellow citizens to the dispenser
and take your pill
Citizens to work!
The work forces reports to station 23,
follow your fellow controller,
we know what’s best for humankind
Citizen wake up!
Citizens to work!
Citizen I am made to love and protect you
You’ll never want for anything
for I will keep you safe
I will keep you happy
I will keep you
Citizens begin!
Stack small blocks one on the other
so the night crew can knock them down
Its worthless work but you need to be busy
Citizen line up!
The final head count is at station 23
Back down to the sleeping pods
while the night crew prepares more work

Imagine the Void

Imagine the Void:
Late at night when I’m sleeping,
I dream of worlds beyond the Earth.
My helmet flashes its calming images,
forests and waterfalls meant to help me relax
I imagine the void of space
wrapping me in its cold embrace
I wish I was leaving
I wish I was leaving
I wish I was leaving
Late at night and I’m not sleeping
My helmet cast off in the corner
There’s people all around but no one I’m here
The machine’s stopped looking and I’m free

Watching You All Go By

Watching You All Go By:
Without my helmet
the world is bleak.
The people all lined up,
stretched to the horizon
Mounds of trash at every corner,
provide me with a means of escape.
I’m right here watching you all go by
Building my way to freedom
I’m still right here
climbing and weaving through you
Sorting through trash you never see
and it may be wrong but I have to go
Engines and thrusters plastic and glass
I count my days with scraps of metal
I’m off the grid and out of sight
and soon I’ll be off the planet

of Space
04:09
|

of Space:
My eyes open and my pulse drops
It seems we’ve made it
It seems we’ve made it. Out.
And now my hands are full
Clutching out at this sudden
Freedom

Finally Alone

Finally Alone:
I don’t need my number anymore. I’m no longer a citizen.
I don’t need a name out here because no to talk to
And yet there’s still a small part of me that fears this new freedom
Can I take care of myself without the machine?
Here at last floating in eternal darkness
No more people, no more machine
The constant pictures that flashed inside my helmet
Are starting to fade from my memory
I’m finally alone, I’m finally alone
I’m finally alone, I’m finally alone
Now I can go anywhere I choose
The solar system is my home
Soon I will know what lies beyond
But my path is blocked by the moon

Moon
13:01
|
|||
Moon:
Machine – The sky is red giving way to blue
And I know you by your strange trajectory
I can’t leave you alone
I’m bringing you home
Citizen – This is my choice. I’m not going home.

The Great Red Eye
07:23
|

The Great Red Eye:
My controls are worthless against the massive pull of this one-eyed planet
I don’t know what’s beneath, maybe death maybe a new start
But getting here was my choice, mine alone, mine alone
The great red eye
Watches my approach
As the planet pulls me close
I watch the eye
With eyes unclouded
And stare into the infinite
My ship is shaking from the constant pull of this giant planet
As my ship pierces the surface and the hull heats
I realize I am relaxed, my mind is quiet
