Stars are just pinholes in the wall

Of a dive bar's bathroom stall

Loose change that fell from god's pocket

When he stumbled drunk down the hall

Dead bulbs long in need of replacing

Over universe's cosmic bed

Space dandruff falling through darkness

From god's unwashed balding head

The galaxies are paperclips scattered

Across the floor nobody swept

Salt grains spilled at the diner counter

When the night shift came to its end

They're rusted nails in the coffin

Of a universe growing cold

Cigarette burns on the tablecloth

That covers eternity's mold

We stare up searching for meaning

In trash no one bothered to claim

We build religions from garbage

Send lost hopes to their fading flames

But these lights won't save us from drowning

They're just specks on a windshield glass

The universe keeps on expanding

Swallowing all that comes in its path

We're walking through empty parking lots

Beneath indifferent skies

Counting specks of discarded matter

As our soul slowly dies

The stars don't care if we name them

Or map their positions in the vast in-between

They're just the lint in a celestial pocket

Which no one has bothered to clean

And what does it matter anyway?

When everything turns to dust

The stars will keep on burning

Long after our cities rust

We're barely a flicker of nothing

In the stillness of starfield's void

Just parasites with delusions

That our kind cannot be destroyed

So gather beneath the dead pixels

On the screen of wasteful infinity

Drink to the cosmic mildew spots

Glowing smugly with false divinity

We'll dance to the rhythm of chaos

As everything falls apart

The stars are just trash left unattended

In the universe's shopping cart

These lights won't save us from drowning

They're just specks on a windshield glass

The universe will keep on expanding

And all things shall come to pass...
