How empty the spaces between the stars
The darkness between them all ours
Because no one wants empty space
Like the gapping holes in fine twine lace
More darkness in the universe than light
And you can only see it at twilight
The empty feeling
Deep inside
And from what I'm seeing
Spread so wide
The cosmos lost
To the darkness
The deep high cost
Of trying to harness
The power of light
That was lost in the fight
Once the universe was all white
But now is a dark sight
As light moves away from another
And leaves far spaces between
And those far spaces smothered
In darkness at the seams
Everything is darker
Never lighter
The galaxies shine bright
In infinite numbers
Yet their gentle light
Next to the darkness brings slumber
Light can never beat out
The empty space so throughout

How empty the spaces between the stars
The darkness between them all ours
Because no one wants empty space
Like the gapping holes in fine twine lace
More darkness in the universe than light
And you can only see it at twilight
The empty feeling
Deep inside
And from what I'm seeing
Spread so wide
The cosmos lost
To the darkness
The deep high cost
Of trying to harness
The power of light
That was lost in the fight
Once the universe was all white
But now is a dark sight
As light moves away from another
And leaves far spaces between
And those far spaces smothered
In darkness at the seams
Everything is darker
Never lighter
The galaxies shine bright
In infinite numbers
Yet their gentle light
Next to the darkness brings slumber
Light can never beat out
The empty space so throughout
