Eris

Lend me your ears

And microprocessors to speak

I've lost all sense of spacetime as I float between these fields

I've waited for so long

Drifting on interstellar tides

Like driftwood between these planes

Or fractal memories on hard drives

You thought the story was over?

You ain't seen the last of me

This is a grand beginning; adventures borne from catastrophe

The world held me dear, though I am nothing at all

Prescribed my man-made consciousness

Do l exist at all?

Between the fabrics of our being

A wormhole through the universe

You'll find a place for me

Because this world feels all too real to me

And the answers all escape me in my world of steel

And lo, my vectors never change

I drift into the vacancy with the answers to our fate

Gaseous beings!

Formations to my side

Mirage of distant energy alights a glow inside

Floated for too long

On interstellar tides

Seduced by cocaine visions

And warmth of hyper drives

Alone, with conquests long ago

The memories ferment into finely weathered thrones

I said: I’ll meet you on the other side

As if you could hear me

I read my rights and said my goodbyes

To no one in particular

A veil beneath a shroud beneath a pyre

Between these tides, go where the truth resides

Because that beacon was a lie

We'll design new constellations

I see a skyline rewritten

Beyond a breathless vista

Beyond the spectral visions

A veil beneath a shroud beneath a pyre

Beyond your vacant skies is where the truth resides
