We Lit Up The Dark [A Sci-Fi Audio Drama] [Explicit] (beta)

[Verse 1] It feels me How purse the Room Well lit up the dark Can't find it in [Chorus] It tastes me No breath on the glass The silence is watching The carrier pass It isn't scanning the vessel [Verse 2] It's probing my mind Oh Oh Oh Oh Seen or received Oh Oh Oh Oh Engine [Chorus] The breaker melted Housing fuse straight to the bulkhead And the warning panel Is still burning yellow [Verse 3] Flight stick locked dead center I put both boots against the console and haul back with everything It doesn't budge Something out there is holding the rudder Listen Under the deck plates A slow scrape dragging along the belly of the vessel Moving forward Toward the canopy Right under my boots Don't breathe Frost spidering across the inside of the glass There is a shadow leaning over the viewport It Feels Me Clearing the seal from the ceiling Lit Up the Dark And woke up the tree [Chorus] It Tastes Me Cold on the edge of the glass The silence has Entered The carrier Pass It isn't scanning the vessel It's tearing my mind [Verse 4] The inner hatch latch Just turned Fuck The latch turned But the seal didn't blow It's reaching through the bulkheads Manual override Dump pure fuel to the burners Come on - tear us loose Engines fire Slammed into the seat We're breaking Zero velocity Engines screaming at max burn And the hull isn't moving an inch Hit a concrete wall in dead space Every light just died The cabin walls are bending inward Light curving around the seat It didn't use the airlock It's inside the metal It's inside the room It has me [Outro] It has me It Feels Me Deep under metal and skin The seal never Broke And the dark let it in It Tastes Me Dark glass from the front The silence has Answered It's calling my name It isn't scanning the vessel It's tearing my mind I remember home Why does it know what I remember Cabin pressure nominal The T on the console Is frozen solid The glass didn't shatter. The hull didn't break. [Instrumental Break] [Mournful Cello Swell] [Sparse Celesta Chimes] [Spoken Whisper] I thought it was hunting. I thought it was tearing me apart. But it wasn't an attack... it was an impact. It was running from something out in the black. [Distant Sub-Bass Pulse] [Solo Detuned Acoustic Guitar] [Spoken Monologue] It showed me what's coming behind it. A silence that swallows stars. And our broadcast... our beacon out to the rim... we didn't just invite a shadow. We drew a map straight to our front door. [Chorus: The Final Warning] [Sung: Fragile Eerie Falsetto] It warned us... Out past the edge of the rim. The dark isn't empty, and they're coming in. [Instrumental Break] [Low Cello Drone] [Spoken Whisper] [Intimate Breath] Carrier relay re-established. Telemetry locked. Warning broadcast transmitted to Earth coordinates. (Run.) [Outro] [Single Acoustic Note Decaying] [Cold Cavernous Reverb] Transmission ended.
