歌词
I'm standing on the precipice
It's a cliff that I've prayed on before
So much so that despite the fact
That I don't know
If I believe in a god or gods anymore my fingertips they bear callouses
My palms they bear callouses from pressing together so tightly
I pray hard when I pray I've often thought
That this maw in front of us was the end of everything
A darkness that consumed all a black hole
Do you know that we are made up of the same stuff
That makes up the stars
So what flows through us may not be just blood it may be stardust
And we are dying
Every second of every minute of every hour of every day brings us closer to
That final day that final hour that final minute
That final second that final breath
Which means when we run out of hydrogen
We become giants or super giants or supernovas
And if not that then we are simply stars
Whose ill fated courses end in collision either way
Either way we'll explode with this in mind I reconsider the precipice
There is something beautiful in its persistence in swallowing us all
The end
The end of everything is the beginning of a brand new everything
The end of this universe may mark the beginning of a brand new one
So that even now when my heart feels like the most
Congested intersection the world the world it is waiting
I reconsider the precipice and so in an effort
To take part in reckless acts of self definition I jump
And I ask you to join me as I fall
As I let that beautiful blackness take me into its arms
I know that I will be safe in them
I know that we you and I all of us
We will be safe in its embrace
