Fifty years

Without feeling the gravity under my feet

Fifty years

Since I left everything I built,

And everyone I loved, behind

Fifty years

Of silence

I can clearly remember

The day the world

Collapsed on itself

I can clearly remember

The mass panic

The mass graves

Our animals turned against us

And fled far from the cities

Later our trees began to rot

Soon gave bitter and wormy fruits

The streets were full of men in uniform

Who told us to remain calm

Later the streets were full of prophets

Who prompted us to taste the human flesh

From above

It now looks like

A blur dot

That glows so faintly

It was

Not a long time ago

But my home

Is now far away, far away

In space

No one can hear you cry

(No one)

Science Affliction

*Awake*

*Awake*

The heart of our vessel

Is a frozen cathedral

Where recumbent figures

Are peacefully plunged into

An eternal sleep

An eternal life

An eternal dream

An eternal lie

Waiting for

A permanent disconnection

I can’t prevent from wondering

What happened then

Below

Now I can’t prevent from thinking

That my body belongs

To the ground

We left the chaos for the void

And there’s no point of arrival

Up there

-”Transmission”-

-”here is a message”-

-”from the stars”-

-”Can you hear me”-

-”I repeat”

-”Can you hear me”-

It was

Not a long time ago

But the Earth

Is now far away, far away

In space

No one can hear you cry

(No one)

Science Affliction

From above

It now looks like

A black dot on black

And it glows no more

And it glows no more

-”we are lost as lost can be”-

-”end of transmission”-
