lyrics

guess i never meant that much to you
you rented out my head, wrote epics of your glue
stories that i created, feelings i imbued
a world full of novels, but i was just a paragraph to you
a paragraph to you
a joke for the school newspaper
i’m glad you got the gratification
what are we doing, wrote it in my notes
what was i doing, if not bending my hopes
what were you doing, signals from afar
what were we doing, bright like dying stars

narration: Other stars will die, too, and the once vibrant galactic neighborhoods will see the lights go out, one by one, until hardly a twinkle registers
across the far reaches of a nearly empty cosmos.

Narration is an excerpt from David F. Eisler's "When 'The End of Everything' Really is"
I sent this song to a bunch of people over the span of it's creation. Special thanks to Jamie, Sindhu, Isis, and Katelyn for listening to like 20 different versions of this song.
