Offworld

Offworld to a place where fortune lies
Far from this smeared neon glow and rainy nights
Down here where no answers were to be found
Driven to escape without avail and against all odds
A new life awaits you they preached, asking where we will be when all comes crashing down

If all lose ends meet, we must not fail, for with this comes the end swallowing us whole

We lay dying at the eve of our days, beneath dimly lit skies, brimming with life
As your blood ran cold and my heart stopped beating
Now embraced, our mortal remains

Still we’ve seen like pyres on the firmament, these glorious bursts of posthuman transience
The scent of burning flesh filled our nostrils
A blissful feeling of victory pulsating within

It was a call of destiny and we answered
We held the day in the palm of our hand
Once echoing threnodies for the fallen, now silenced by time

I’ll tell your fervid heart what it was like to be alive
Of flashes of light piercing through the darkness
I’ll tell of signs of struggle, now long forgotten
When memory has become corrupted and we’re long gone
