I am stranded
way out here in space
so cold and empty handed
longing for a smiling face

Everything seems so random
Yet everything seems in order
All that I can imagine
Never gets me any farther

Among the wreckage
I'm among the wreckage
of the earth
I live in a flesh machine
Who could break down in extremes
It's a miracle I still breathe

I am waiting
For one thing or the other
Death or rescue
not sure what comes first
For billions its been death
Rescue hasnt came yet

None of us know too much
we wear mortality like a crutch
We gamble with our souls
And we think we know
None of us know much of anything
One day it shall show

Among the wreckage
I'm among the wreckage
of the earth
I live in a flesh machine
Who could break down in extremes
It's a miracle I still breathe
