Trivial matters and civil wars
Genocides and broken hearts
Our beating hearts are hushed down
Making less noise than silence
Under the dark, heavy night sky

We move through the rest,
following what we believe its true
existence pulled into timely destruction
laws that mercilessly determine our future
millions of millennia after fall into oblivion
We can’t feel it
But its there and we are too
Under the dark, heavy night sky

We orbit around each other
Making sturdy bridges as we burn others down
It’s a human cycle of repetition
It’s a terrestrial truth
Around the solar system
Becoming satellites
To those outside ourselves
To those around and beyond
Under the dark, heavy night sky.
