Hazard Pay 04:19

I get up and roll my head from side to side Another month spent in cryostasis This new mission To Lazarus Station Reporting low levels of oxygen A jagged ring of asteroids At the edge of the void And I don’t miss being here Tractor beam malfunction detected Has me wondering why Sudden spark and reflection Scanners show signs of life False positive on the biosuit's O2 expiration Anomalous readings here scrambled my HUD When lifeless The bodies A life of work has jaded me This doesn't seem too solitary I step through decompression Acquainted once again with gravity Should only be stuck here momentarily

Sequester 04:44

When the door opens it draws me in Screen on the console dimmer than I remember Crisis light starts to flash I am trapped Look to the array of video feeds The engineer on his back? Or was it heart attack? Corridors echo Intruders clamor at the door Locked inside, they're in control Locked inside Locked in My back turned I search the panel for the SOS protocol Enter the password, for someone at JC to hear Then stumble and fall Door slamming behind me Hair standing on end Flashlight's gleam shines through the room Impending doom A blow to the back of the my head Sends me to a darker place When I come to I'm exactly where I need to be An escape pod beyond the pale Beyond the pale Course is predefined And all I have is time Surprised and delighted My new prison all alight as My pod detaches and floats clear of dock bay Boosters engaged Onwards into space On with the chase

Bereft of what made me, me Natural light on a makeshift quay Yet another vessel I called home Undulating with the tide See plants swim in the ocean And the view from the triptych helm Shows a world seemingly never frozen And the wind howling through the rock elm And though it wasn’t too clear I could feel it in this air Time to leave this salt bath shelter Before I’m swimming with the fishes I’m fine, I do feel changed All over, I know that it’s done But my trusty self never failed, me Did I forget? The sole survivor Forgot to spin the oxygen dial My return back is scorched I can’t fix this mess of metal From the bank I’ve washed upon I check the compass but there’s no magnetic north And I can’t tell dusk from dawn Root around the salvage before I go Living with the freedom of a ghost Stranded so far from home These surroundings tell me I'm not alone At least this time around I'm on solid ground Natural gravity to keep me down, down, down Keep me down As far as I’m concerned A life lived is a life earned And I’ve got years to spurn Before I burn
