Space Cowboy

Weightless, boundless

I’m lost among the stars

Faceless darkness

The galaxies were ours

Hyperspace, cold embrace

Penumbra turns to grey

Solitude, celestial views (nothing new)

Adrift I float away

Oblivion you wandered in

It orbits back again

Visceral, no control

The worlds are caving in

All these lightyears removed

The standoff finally comes to a head

Scarrow fills the saloon

Rowels silent the sound of the dead

Revolving cartridges fall

The song of centuries hangs like the setting sun

You made the timeline reverse

Infinite lasers return to my smoking gun

There’s a price on my corpse

I bleed out slowly

Red stains on your dress start to grow
