everything that you promised
everything that you saved
corrupted inside out at take off
blindsided by your rays
they turned
the suits against us
how were we to know
time takes us all we take our time time takes us all our time is taken
anything that was promised
guaranteed not saved
we used the suits against them but they already knew
time takes us all we take our time time takes us all our time is taken

known by touch
touched and known
found release
in a patch unknown
the latest transmissions
suggest it isn't
what we thought
but abort the mission
and lose all for what we fought
you're my beacon
and my distress
you are my dying star
you're my medic
and my crash site
you are my dying star
signs of truth
truth in signs
hints of love
in failed designs
your latest transmission
suggests it isn't
what you thought
but abort the mission
and all this was for nought
you're my beacon
and my distress
you are my dying star
you're my medic
and my crash site
you are my dying star

we swore on my handset
that life was for life
but you kept updating
night after night
secret whispers embedded inside your code
towers crumble as the flightway tubes implode
open the dust gates
let the winds in
open the dust gates
just like you did
red light good to go
what do they know of you and me
red light goes to show
that what we had was real
天宫天宫,遇到紧急情况,请求降落
i've looked a thousand times
found nothing at all
the log states clearly that
this wasn't your call
connector's useless but i keep it all the same
reminds me once that we were, one and the same
open the dust gates
let the winds in
open the dust gates
just like you did
red light good to go
what do they know of you and me
red light goes to show
that what we had was real
none of this was in your manual

as a child scope fixed on space
i felt the eye brush her face
until then i thought her beauty was folklore
embedded in her neural lace
as data flow and iterate
between us now and the star that we once adored
then the lust i displaced
turned to be my saving grace
when her simulacra come knockin at my door
fingers slip along the interface
of the younger girl who took her place
as she tells her prisoner to get her head back on the floor
reboot reboot me
she told us youd be fine
the last data pulled from her mine
and we could watch your lungs blacken from the mezzanine
we lit a candle at your fathers shrine
to mark the end of his bloodline
and compose this ode to her von neumann probe machines
boot her up bring her rust online
drink what’s left of her holy wine
and now let’s rerun all her early routines
speak, memorex
buy us time
darken the spectral lines
oblivion is one more regression toward the mean

Command

a path of no return
a trick you never learned
a drive filled with light
a past dooms your flight
data comes data goes data flows data knows
let the suns roll in
and the star man sing
i'm awaiting your command
as the rocks come down and the seas boil dry
i'm awaiting your command
a list of uploads
each one a syndrome
discrete instances
your cache of grievances
let the suns roll in
and the star man sing
i'm awaiting your command
as the storms draw in
and the dust clouds rise
i'm awaiting your command
