lyrics

This privatization of my occupation it sends my endeavors into the sky
Those champagne kisses and caviar screams killing dreams
How the hell did this happen to me?

It's the stars I serve, so everyone is above me
Nowhere to go but around this planet endlessly
Crosschecking the protocol, I came here to escape
The wonder of it all, I repeatedly fake
Scraping the mucus off the controls
From command, the demands, scrambled and overridden
And I am surrounded by dioxides
And the crumbling of my circadian rhythm
The aristocrats are zooming, my confidence is blooming
I stare down the airlock handle
Their laughter drains the grid, serve them is all I did
Looking for the moment you deserve

Do you know what I'm thinking? My sanity's shrinking
Humanity's link has been lost in space
By serving you I'm becoming unglued
Is it obvious from the blank look on my face?

And I'm laughing at all your weightless jokes
This is how you put on the mask, folks
‘cause I'm charting the gasses, Death my acquaintance
Hitting on the rich wives while I juggle all of your lives
Saturn, high five me when it's time
I head for the control room like a fullback
This conversation ends
All heads turn to me, surrounded by their eyes
And they know it
I set forth our end, there's just no one here to stop me
All the power I have
You're used to being me, aren't you?

Now is my moment, they're so unsuspecting
Ripping compression fittings
Loosening the disconnect as I am now disconnected
Beyond the threshold, I look into their faces
As laughter pours out of me, to tears
As the dining pod lights dim, hope fades
The battery pack activates
The pod, it pushes away as I override the hydraulics
They're doomed and they know it
And I will burn through the atmosphere eventually
