Sweet Spot Drift

Verse 1

Check the seals

Gold visor clicked in place

Leaving behind the heavy lines of the human race

Boot-kick the airlock

Now I’m swimming in the black

Newton’s got no grip on me

I ain't looking back

My oxygen is rhythmic

A steady hiss and hum

Dancing on the rhythm

Of a supernova drum

The Earth

Just a marble

A tiny, fading dot

While I’m drifting through ether

Finding every sweet spot

Chorus

Floating through the velvet

Light as a thought

Found the kind of freedom

That can’t ever be bought

In my pressurized cocoon

I’m the king of the void

Dodge a little stardust

Flirt with an asteroid

Yeah, I’m flying high

Higher than satellites go

Watching cosmic rivers

In a neon-colored flow

Verse 2

Locals start appearing

Breaking through the dark

Translucent jellyfish

Bioluminescent spark

They pulse in 7/4 time

A polyrhythmic glow

Waving gossamer tentacles

As they say hello

Six-eyed leviathan

Near the Rings of Saturn

Skin shifting colors

Fractal-style pattern

He didn’t want my soul

Just a bit of my beat

We shared a moment’s silence

And the silence was sweet

Crystalline birds

Frozen methane gas

Singing silent melodies

They flicker, they pass

Bridge

Weightless

No gravity to pull my spirit down

Just the echo of the stars

A diamond-studded crown

I’m the only one invited

Gala in the sky

What a beautiful day

Never have to die

Chorus

Floating through the velvet

Light as a thought

Found the kind of freedom

That can’t ever be bought

In my pressurized cocoon

I’m the king of the void

Dodge a little stardust

Flirt with an asteroid

Yeah, I’m flying high

Higher than satellites go

Watching cosmic rivers

In a neon-colored flow

Outro

Static on the comms

Let it drift

Let it slide

I think I’ll stay out here

For a little while

Best seat in the house

Yeah
