On this interstellar journey
Through the infinite cosmos
Regret comes speeding past.
Out here in the vast emptiness,
Traversing glittering seas of stars
I lost track of time somewhere.
Alone in the darkness,
Searching for signs of life
I can't return empty-handed
They'll never look at me the same way again.
Love is delicate
Ephemeral and otherworldly
Ethereal and elusive
It slowly slips through my fingers.
All is lost
The mission is a failure
Just like the others before it
Time to turn the ship around
I have to stop lying to myself
Set course for home
There's nothing out here for me.
