Have I been dreaming? Sky is the wrong color. It’s hot. Cloud cover is dense. Red. Brown. Am I floating? Coming down? The Dark Star. Was I there? Where was 'there' anyway? Tried every broadcast frequency. Got nothing. Just static on the line. Looking for signs of life but I don’t see any.
Back to the ground. Looking up at the thick sky. I see the Dark Star. It’s above me, inside me. Behind my eyes. I hear the cries. But I can’t seem to see where they come from.
Can’t move. Can’t feel anything. Are those clouds? Plumes of smoke? I smell it. The air. Smells like death. Smells like decay. Ground is wet. Muddy. Warm. But, wet from what? Water, oil, blood?
Still nothing but static. Even the signal grows weaker. High frequency. Low frequency. It’s all just snow. Is anybody left out there? Am I the only one? Why was I spared? I only wanted to know what it meant. I only wanted to see for myself so that I could warn them with proof.
It’s in the sky. It’s in my head. My eyes. I see it. It’s all I see. I’m blind to the world and the Dark Star fills all my vision. Noise is louder. Smell is stronger. But everything grows darker. Lay a while longer here.
lyrics
Static
Nothing to see
I haven't seen
360 degrees
Still don't know what it means
Farther away
Still all the same
Can't remember the day
I had something to say
I feel the motion
But time seems to have its stops and starts
No matter where you are
No real intention
All that I have now is my fear
It's all I hear
Left behind
Lost inside the confines of my mind
Try to find
Someone to hear me call
I search for signs
Of another who can bring me back to life
I hear the sound
Static
I've traveled the line
Now I've fallen behind
Don't know what planet I'm on
I've been gone too long
I lost direction
As time pulled me close and then so far
Through a million stars
No new dimension
And all that I have now is my fear
It's all I hear
Left behind
Lost inside the confines of my mind
Try to find
Someone to hear me call
I search for signs
Of another who can bring me back to life
I hear the sound
Static
Scan the horizon
I can't seem to find the big reveal
It's all so unreal
Left behind
Lost inside the confines of my mind
Try to find
Someone to hear me call
I search for signs
Of another who can bring me back to life
I hear the sound
Static
