Lyrics
Black Hole
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is a black hole at the center of the universe
Its gravity is strong and it's pulling everybody back in
But we're trying to escape it, trying to escape inevitability
I am patching hole with a thousand packs of chewing gum
Alcoholic speakers black a heroin malaise as I work
I work trying to escape it, trying to escape inevitability
I thought I saw somebody drowning in the crystal waters of Lake Michigan
I threw in a life preserver, but preservation is always only temporary
See i can offer you my hand, but I can't save you from inevitability
I put on my uniform and went out on to the field in my position
I thought about reincarnation and the likelihood that there's continuation
It's always been a game, see we're running from inevitability.
