Silence weighs

No hum

No guide

Just steel

Short breath

Eyes burn

Sleep eludes

The stars, they just seem wrong

Fluid time

Dry words

Shadows move

Standing still

Abyss looks in through fractured glass

No thoughts are safe, no shape is true

What once was self will fade, will pass

The ship becomes what's left of you

Darkness seeps beneath the skin

Silence thick, too vast to fight

The line dissolves where dreams begin

And fades away into night

The hum is dead

No thoughts are said

Just drift instead

Whеre silence blеd

No warmth is made

In endless gray

A shadow feeds

Where no one sees

It splits the seams

Of our memories

The walls exhaled a rusted breath

Circuits wept the code of death

A lullaby in copper wire

Sung from deep, synthetic fire

No footsteps now, just distant hums

Like funeral drums from broken lungs

No voices in the air

Blinking lights and hollow breath

Shadows shift with a glare

No proof of life or of death

The hull began to strain

A pulse rose from below

A shape emerged again

It dragged through sorrow slow

Silence pressed on skin

Too thick to speak or to see

Reality grows thin

Hunger deep, the sleep untrue

Limbs were bent, the movement wrong

Abyss looks in through fractured glass

No thoughts are safe, no shape is true

What once was self will fade, will pass

The ship becomes what's left of you

Darkness seeps beneath the skin

Silence thick, too vast to fight

The line dissolves where dreams begin

And fades away into night

It's still here… lurking just beyond sight

We're still drifting… lost inside the endless night
