In the darkest day, in the final hour
There be a man, stands high tower
Tall and proud from all his friends
He’ll fight for them, til the bitter end
When once he would’ve turned away
He knows better then death and dismay
But heartache is certainly worth it
His heart and soul, once a hermit
The pain and suffering he caused
Rattles in his head, a broken applaud.

A billion galaxies, a trillion planets
There’ll be life like you cant imagine
Blobs of gas, sentient and aware
And tardigrades thinner than hair
To think we’re the only ones
You’ve got to be pretty dumb
If there is a god, he isnt here
We’re probably a computer program
Living in a loop or sphere

Sent from the heavens above
Come clouds that cover it up
To dampen even the brightest day
And turn everything a shade of grey
The sun, the stars the moon and matter
Even time gets squashed and flatter

Why does it always feel like our days have gone
When your home alone feeling somethings wrong
When it feels like time is standing still
And the only way to move is take 20 pink pills
When you’re standing on the abyss
It feels like you’ll fall off that cliff
Please just step back and relax
Or you’ll run into another relapse
overdose, or medically comatose
There is no second life or death
So please just take a deep breath
Your life isn’t over just yet.

Woken in the dead of night
Someone spoke and hushed me quiet
Frightened for the sake of fright
I couldn’t sleep, but I was tired
Eyes closed tightly, feigning snores
I hear a stifled yawn
Thoughts are swimming through my mind
Could this be, My time to die?
I assure myself it cannot be
As I still have so much to see
I open my eyes wide,  to see eyes of black
And see myself staring back
