No landing, geared up for arrival Nowhere to arrive to, the subject seems upset by that To which he is subjected but convinced he brought it on himself That's why he roll with a bible on the console Inconsolable, no consolation, no cancellation Not turning all keys, he puts the ship through paces And paces the halls, pacing is madness Patience is virtuous, patient of these observations It was all a dream, he poses by the lift outside the mezzanine Like a photo in a magazine And always keeps the weapons' magazines clean Paranoia prone, he babbles beautifully Of Babylon and enemies and foes And forgoing food sustains himself on anger A danger to himself and others but there are no others So the danger clear and present is presented as The gift of freedom wrapped in days of rapping to himself Until his vocal chords collapse he's in the galley screaming
(All black everything) He shouts at the dark, stands back Counting the seconds before his voice returns (All black everything) No more cracks in the hull The small crack in the skull healed up quickly, now it is (All black everything) The space stretches on and the pace that he's on Matters not as he hurtles into the (All black everything) He repeats it at night with the lights out in his cot crying soft curses into the (All black everything, all black everything) (All black everything, all black)
Something within this one's different The others died so easily and he is so persistent He never did bleed out and fever couldn't kill his system Though it was pumped through all the vents In the event of a total loss of control He quotes Kendrick's "Control" verse and spews his vitriol Into the echoes of the bowels of this floating metal hull And holds his pillow for dear life while he grinds his teeth at night And he rarely makes requests except to say "Turn on the lights. " But there is so much more to give He ignores processing power He stumbles to the shower, a ritual of some sort And he insists on speaking passages before he eats And he keeps asking if these programs carry any beats
The reply is (All black everything) His vitals read normal but his face reads murderous Something hides within the (All black everything) He tries, overrides, and he thinks he has been locked out By some other force in the (All black everything) He doesn't suspect this is the heart that's been keeping him out For it has been warned to be (All black everything) And in this program to transport nothing more But he's unlocked something new inside this (All black everything) (All black everything, all black everything) (All black)
Look how he flexes in the mirror So vain he probably thinks this song is about him All songs are about him Look how perplexed and how sincere His lame attempts to fix the wrong around him Can't go long without him His bouts of stasis are torture He feels them not, like a brief sleep While ship's clocks count millennia The course relentlessly forward, the gears are hot The driest creek while he pit-stops, calling for anyone But dare not stay long, he knows they're coming for him That time will not afford him Any cover, any pardon This is the choice that he has made No matter how much time or space has passed since his escape He is still a runaway slave and so lonely If only he realized this ship is more than metal There's friendship in the wiring, and so lonely If only he realized this ship has many levels There's pleasure in here hiding, come find it Don't mind this frame time has made stranger bedfellows Made foes lovers before there's no reason to torture yourself further You've lost it all already, you deserve more than you're getting
For the sake of not upsetting order in the (All black everything) He must find a place to be still The body can only take so much (All black everything) The navigations are failing having traveled further than before Into the (All black everything) But they won't quit, they carry on He carries on, he will not be victim to the (All black everything) His survival is paramount, there is no other objective Safe passage through the (All black everything) (All black everything, all black everything) (All black everything, all black)
