Stardate I Lyrics

Stardate, scribble down whatever, doesn't matter

While the engine is dead, time is a worthless chatter

Fuel's on empty, long gone to the fight for momentum

Burning velocity up for the never over "go get 'em"

Silence, check your vitals, text your contacts

Regret your kindness, respect your contracts

Notification, bleep bloop bleep unlock sequence

Burned into your retinas, melatonin levels rarely peak

Darkness, in spite of everything you try

Rarely sleep on time, tweak that music box life you wind

Check the damage, aching spine and bruised appendages

Broken mind, open heart, liquid bandages

Hyper focus, unravel every thread of that idea

Running ever slower through your head

Process, something old and something new

Borrowed emotions manifest in that familiar shade of blue

Stardate, scribble down whatever, doesn't matter

While the engine is dead, time is a worthless chatter

Maybe I will die here

Or start another chapter

Doesn't matter

Give me the former or the latter

Stardate, scribble down, infinity doesn't mean much anymore

While the engine is dead, time is another metaphor

Fuel's on empty, low energy mode, shield system down

No artillery, no defences, defenceless

Silence, sensible plans, clever mind, in-capable hands

Now quiet and senseless

Notification, feel the entire room erupt in a shaking patience

Awaiting some kind of escape from this sentence

Darkness, locked back up in dissapointment

No backup, no answer or any messenger of sentience

Check the damage, aching motivation, a mess of sentiment

Living relatives remain connected by long-dead precedent

Hyper focus, unravel every thread of bond matter connecting them

Notice how they only ever tether when it benefits

Process, something cold and something true

The only soul aboard who can help just happens to be you

Stardate, scribble down whatever, doesn't matter

While the engine is dead, time is a worthless chatter

Maybe I will die here

Or start another chapter

Doesn't matter

But give me the latter
