jenna - paul shapera lyrics

Loading...

jenna:
the lights are dim, they stutter
and the powers almost gone
just four bites a day i’ve eaten
but the food did not last long

and the cold descends uncaring
as the shuttle floats away
slowly drifting out to nowhere
slowly swallowed up by sp*ce

i hear shadows, i hear objects, in the dark they talk so low
sharing secrets, sharing longings, hours pass so very slow
objects bare their feelings to me in the cold here where i lay
spinning dreams, i’m seventeen and yet my mind and life are floating far away

is this all there is for me
is this all i get to see
opening credits on the screen

uncle ray how much i loved him, and the crew i loved them too
my first scout ship, so excited, an excursion, off we flew
but a ship, it came from nowhere, it attacked, we turned and fled
all this yelling and explosions, then it’s quiet and they’re dead

and now everything’s all broken, i don’t know which way is home
that i’m still alive and love them, that i’m here they’ll never know
and the days are passing slowly, and the bodies still lie dead
and the shadows are my company and i’ll never get to see my home again
is this all there is for me
is this all i get to see
opening credits on the screen

and my home it’s full of beauty i can’t bear to not go back
sweet xandoria a bioship that flies into the black
it’s alive with creatures, colors, all the life that grows within
and i cannot bear the thought i’ll never see them all again

the collective is a biomass, a superconscious blend
of the people and the minds, it’s where their time is mostly spent
though there’s other crew, like children, individuals they stay
til they reach their own adulthood, i was just one year away

my dad went back three years ago, my mom went back last year
back into the great collective, just my uncle stayed out here
how he loves his wild excursions, where we send a shuttle out
just to see the sights, the cosmos, collect data then come back

this was just my first time going, i was so excited, though
i’ve already heard the galaxy is full of strange unknowns
in the dark there lies great danger, there is violence, war and strife
and i’ll die out here before i’ve ever got to live my life

the lights are dim, they stutter
and the powers almost gone
and it’s not much longer now until
my last breath’s cold and lost
uncle ray said that my head was never present never here
always drifting on a dream, and straying places never near
but i feel a thing inside me, like an animal down deep
and it wants to live it growls and tells me jenna don’t you sleep

so i pull the sheet around me
and i stare into the night
the last eye shines in the darkness
as we drift away from sight

and the cold descends uncaring
as the shuttle floats away
slowly drifting out to nowhere
slowly swallowed up by sp*ce
