A Tale from the Dark Side of the Moon
Have you ever looked at the stars and wondered what’s out there?
Who lives there?
What if you had a onetime exclusive to go there,
To know the answer to everything you ever asked,
Would you take it?
Verse 1
Knowledge is the fulfillment I’m feeling on the stove when I press it and burn
In each lesson I learn, watch the heads when they turn
I’m catching a stern glare from the profess in a term
As I question the words “Why the fuck cant I have the best of both worlds?”
Tried to shy away that’s why the advisors now retired
So I’ll perfect my life’s work – wires,
Eyes up under visors specific scientific equations
Performing maintenance on spaceships my focus
I know it’s psycho shit integrating microchips
Data processor beta offset or testing the final chimps
When I step it makes my day to pave the way through the mysterious shade of gray
I check my trek, high technology
I’m not double crossing the line, the line has been crossing me
I’m aware what the cost’ll be rocketing at high-speed velocities
Obviously cats won’t land on their feet possibly
When they’ve got to be consumed or killed in their own curiosity
Chorus
Look at you what’s gotten into you?
Dipping your toe in H20 when you check the temperature?
Attempting to expose an unexplored insecure globe
When it’s just going to explode insuring increased injury percentages
Enter the sinister cross roads and blows are administered
To the end of your adventure - I ignore the advising –
Reviving surviving writhing cyborgs with my torch
That ought bright up the gloom on dark sides of the moon as I’m enlightened
Verse 2
Ground scenarios got me skirting border party searching for a body’s burial
“Where’d he go?” Thinking when His back’s turned, determined to escape God
Sink or swim I’m submerging in a space pod – that idea back fired – crash landing in draped fog
Past light years, I’m standing agog; at the purple contaminated rank bog
Intergalactic graphic
You couldn’t imagine what happened
Fascinated by a smashed ship that’s in acid
In which I’m deep in, I begin to seep in as I descend decent amounts into the deep end
Proceeding realizing what these eyes have been seeing is so beautifully dim
You wouldn’t believe them, freedom present but fleeting
I’m even pleading for a hand to reach in
Receiving my grievance:
A plethora of nebula predators, etcetera hostile local aliens
Who prey on small berries – and also homo sapiens
Verse 3
I back track considering flash backs before math graphs and trashed crafts
Sun brightened bred, nourished, I was fed
Right ahead of some species, yet something said that I was dead
Hanging by a thread, led by what was said, lies
Fuck that! I prefer to live my own life instead
I dreamt to consume the brand cheese on lunar landings
They said I had a demon in plain deeming me insane
Even inane, I needn’t to complain, but then again
I wasn’t stressing depressed in excessive pain
From perspective change dressed in protective chains
Where the settings strange
Aftershocked astronaut as I’m brought to address the claims
Of extraterrestrial councils which aim to have me maimed, disemboweled
Tossed remains in a distant black hole
On charges of committing foul peace crimes, no weapons found though
So I told them: You know what? I just want to know a bit about your culture,
No bombs strapped, then we signed contracts – my first contact
Verse 4
No foreigners no exceptions any ignorance no acceptance
Susceptible, destined to expect an unsuspecting
Successful death when no serve and protection
No cellular connection on the waning crescent
You say it’s uselessness to take refuge in this sewage shit
Along the ruthlessness of creeper crater fugitives
Yet us lunar lunatics both bleed, green fluid drips when we’re oozing it
Besides this one life to live, what’ve I got to lose in it?
These solar powered beings know better
They’re not going to live forever even in Quadrant III Sector Omega
The average life does not satisfy appetite
Like the savage life’s satellites
Certainly more than just a mere mirror hologram
Only in adversity’s uncertainties can I be aware of all I am
Flying saucer diving farther
Banished to damaged planets
Until I fully manage to vanish
Afterward
Yea, I know where the path of light ends
Even if I shoot for the moon and miss, I land amongst the stars
I think next I’ll visit mars
Without darkness, there’d be no light
