lyrics

I saw this mangled hull drift by and thought of you
watching this mangled hull drift by and thinking of me.
I know you came through here before me,
I know you saw all kinds of junk to remind you that we
believed all the things we believed
without ever believing the things that we didn't believe
but we should've. We should've.
We should've. We should've.
We should've.

Two thousand years between passes of two unknown masses.
One stable cloud of two inert gases.
Two spun-up brains in adjacent jars.
Two assembly line arms reaching for each other in the dark.

I saw these white dwarves colliding and thought of you
watching these white dwarves colliding and thinking of me.
We've circled each other for eons but the end will come
fast when it comes, though it still might not be
the end we expected,
the end that we feel we deserve,
the end that would give things the meanings
they should have, they should have,
they should have, they should have,
they should have.

Two suns sinking past the horizon.
Two unblinking eyes on two distant probes
launched by long-extinct titans.
Two asteroids cutting parallel swaths
through the rings of a planet whose mass
will slingshot them light years apart.

I see you sometimes.

"His blue eyes were bulging, glassy, and sightless, and the frantic playing had become a blind, mechanical, unrecognisable orgy that no pen could even suggest." — H.P. Lovecraft, The Music of Erich Zann
