drifting in a capsule meant to
insulate me from the deadly
nothingness of lonely outer space
this crude device is now my vessel
and soon I fear also my prison
reason lapses, time collapses
I can’t fade away
before my fate consumes me
let me set the record straight
I feel no remorse ‘cause I’m a deity now
and I’m prone to act violently
this pattern had to be
just like the other schemes
somewhere I’m nice and docile
and somewhere I’m deadly hostile
No dichotomy in this reality
we do just as we please
when the red phone rings
I want to be the one to push the button down
and I’m caught between
a singularity and the sundown
where does my allegiance lie?
I wish that I could say in God or country
but I don’t care ‘bout that since all is born to die
first there was nothing then I woke
and I’ll return from whence I came
the people would have known my name
if I could have spared any of them
No dichotomy in this reality
we do just as we please
when the red phone rings I want to be the one
to push the button down
and I’m caught between
a singularity and the sundown
there are no righteous men
just the will of evil masters
let us always trust in one who has always fooled us
