[Intro] Is a suitcase, alive? Is an AI, a mind? Is a country a hive? Is a planet a grave? [Verse 1] Endure the dark alone, have come to prefer it but, losing my sight after watching, it happen first to Marion, is terrifying. [PreChorus] Close my eyes, each time, expecting to lose my way, in the black obsidian. [Verse 2] Have been alone so long, I talk to myself and to machines. though now in the age of Gemini, it doesn't seem so strange, in hindsight. [PreChorus] Close my eyes, each time, expect to awaken to dying, and choking. [Chorus] So far there is, no such thing. All of my, mother's fears unfounded. 45 years worth... of my life wasted. On worries, that must be the wrong ones. No gold and no diamond, illusions. [trembling melodic solo] [Verse 3] For a foggy graveyard in the mountains, I guess I wait, losing my life, after watching Duane, is terrifying. [PreChorus] Close my eyes, each time, expect to awaken to dying, and choking. [Bridge 1] We all die alone, so I don't expect anyone, to comfort or hold me, I'm terrified. If you're not.. you're lying. [soaring aggressive melodic death solo] [Chorus] So far there is, no such thing. All of my, mother's fears unfounded. 45 years worth... of my life wasted. On worries, that must be the wrong ones. No gold and no diamond, illusions. [Bridge 2] I am... just... I am trying. I am, I am trying, I don't know, if this, deep black is what awaits. [fading tempo banjo melody] [Outro] If I hadn't had to say hello, I wouldn't have to say goodbye...
