(The Caretaker)
The silence sizzles in the stream of her breath
The air frozen pixelated fractals
This reality or death, like light to the pests
Pushes her further into shackles
She remembers a time, when they shared space
But he left to the stars just to save his face
And now she looks up, with an off-world hope
And it blinds her in more than her eyes
Don't look backwards or you'll see the snakes
There's an infestation and you'll lose the race
But there's a hope
Just drop the deadweights and go
Still she waits
And still she hopes
The loudness fuels, the pump of his heart
Living in dreams was never an art to him
He wanted less
With finality and death
Torn asunder from his rosebud
He is free to look to love
Yet there's still doubt
Of any beyond that exists
Don't look backwards or you'll see the snakes
There's an infestation and you'll lose the race
But there's a hope
Just drop the deadweights and go
Don't look backwards or you'll see the snakes
There's an infestation and you'll lose the race
And there's a soul
Buried in the shell you call home
The dead space, that is between the stars
Will not point to who you are
Looking onward while wearing a mask
Reaching out for what you cannot grasp
She thought the love would never fade
But the love turned out to be a fake
Mazed and dazed, fazed at the fate
Does fate exist? She thought they were soul mates
Don't look backwards or you'll see the snakes
There's an infestation and you'll lose the race
And there's a hope
Just drop the deadweights and go
Don't look backwards or you'll see the snakes
There's an infestation and you'll lose the race
And there's a soul
Buried in the shell you call home
