Voyager

[Verse]
Andromeda galaxy's outside the window, and I've been adrift by the crystals that wink out in harmony
Signals deflect through the pinholes that alternate blinks with their colorless glow
I slip through the folds in a ship that escaped its bottle, I got the whole hull, painted all gold
Cold in the cosmos, brain unfurls into a 1970's space-age novel
Now the Pinwheel galaxy is outside the window, the windshield cracks accentuate the starlight
Off-white spheres of ice are circled in the mist, the shadows of the solar system huddled 'round the bonfire
But I'm drifting past in a bucket of bolts that's stuck in a solar wind gust of comet tail dust
In abundance rushing towards the crust of everything that ever was and ever will be, I'm just hoping that my feet don't fail me
A universe in a teacup, need to be beamed up, need a key to release, the secrets sealed up need a seat to see the freedom
I seek, I sleep seasons, seems infeasible
It's a voyage, I need to repair the pipes that burst in imagination systems, that flooded up with a vengeance
And caused a slipstream that swallowed me whole from out the Tadpole galaxy and turned my ship into a tiny crumpled ball of wreckage
Like fuck
There's nothing outside of the window, except for a star-gate sequence on loop
And I float out there, listless, spiraling inside dimensions that had all their ceilings removed
In an arcade game long forgot in the backroom, I can't breathe and I'm doomed, deep in this vacuum it's almost tranquil
Zoned out in my helmet, this vanishing act was..
Past-due
