Your navel
Is yearning for an extension
A ghost limb
It can't detach from mother's loving grasp
You're starving
It's burning for the nutrients
It can't have
We're all cut off alone and lost
Calling out to homebase, do you read me?
(Emergency: we're floating endlessly)
Transmission terminated
You've been created
Severed from life and limb
Stranded an infant
On the front step of the universe
Infinitely searching for a warmth
Once loved, now lost forever
Mothership mothership do you read me?
Does anyone hear my siren song?
Maybe I'll be rescued before too long
Calling out to homebase one last time
(The signal faded out, the ship is gone)
Still starving for the reason
You were created
Then severed from life and limb
Stranded an infant
On the front step of the universe
Infinitely searching for a warmth
Once loved
Now lost forever
