Eventually
We came to a chasm dark and wide
And drifted in silence through endless anemones
In shallow dreams
Life was beginning to take a shape
Water was warm as it hastened our enemies
This kind of world will start a little colony
This kind of earth will eat a little energy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
After thousands of years
Our priests have predicted you would come
You with your d**h that appears in no photograph
You watch the night sky
We bickered like fools amongst ourselves
We sought protection in artificial youth
This kind of world will start a little colony
This kind of earth will eat a little energy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
This kind of thing needs a little secrecy
In a sickening jump
I fell through the surface of my life
And I was cut back by the hollow camaraderie
The planet was still
Nothing moved as it slept in space
I pulled on my suit and exited quietly
