The Criminal
I was a petty thief
Committing celestial crimes
I bounced between the eclipses
Convincing stars to dim their light
Caught in a conjunction
Aiding the planets collide
An orchestrated sunset
Burned out for the last time
Galactic enemy number one
They searched for me far and wide
I hid in constellations
Calculating their divide
An attempt to travel backwards
Found me scaling an event horizon
After searching millions of light years
I was sentenced to human life
I made destruction and chaos
Turned love into painful lies
Tinkered with eruptions and cyclones
Until all of us quickly arrived
I donβt come from here
These streets I was raised
Glorified battlefields crushed
By heavy emotional chains
Iβve lived every life imaginable
It was my punishment to create
Time that moves fast and feels slow
A petty criminal condemned to fate
What if god was a criminal and we are his prison?
