There's a star there In the sky there That convicts me Of the size Of this life here Makes it so clear To these fragile Little eyes That I'll forever Be never More than a Speck of dust To a massive Stellar being So much bigger Than all of us I hear a sound there Way down there Crying out in The mortal night The singing Of a human being Who's enchanted By my light But if he only knew Just as I do That I would gladly Take his place For alas this Stellar mass is Eternally condemned to space We hear a sound All around Crying out in The dark matter (If only I could trade with that beautiful being) A wrenching Lamenting That makes our photons scatter (I'd forget All of the meaningless things I've seen) Manifesting Giving meaning To this thing that We've always known (Why is it up there If I can never go?) Revealing This feeling That we're destined to be alone (Why is it up there If I can never know) (Forever) (Forever) (Forever) (Forever) (Forever) (Forever) (Forever) (Forever) Since the beginning of time Man has pondered the skies The heavens listening long To his isolated cries The echo of emptiness Ringing out through the black Searching for an answer That the stars can never send back We have watched and waited As this legacy unveils Skewed explanations Constellations and tales But the truth is much darker Than a man could ever grasp We pity your race From behind our mask Nothing is the treasure that the Universe hides Nothing but scattered matter that careens and collides As it craves for the death That epitomizes rest At the mercy of forces Haunting with their behest But how can a thing Made of atoms and chance Ever tell a man the truth Of his nihilistic dance So we watch our sentient Gazing up in his plight As he studies our tears Made of silence and light Why is it up there If I can never know
