escape pod

There was confusion and there were flames

I had always felt the fire call my name

But this was different, I could taste the fear

And the sweet release at the end of all drew near

I will never understand why, why

They shot me off a dying planet in a tin-sized escape pod

There was room only for a bed and porthole that I watched my home explode from

The com-link's open, but there's no one tuned in on the other side

Why did I deserve to live? Did I just deserve to watch them die?

Oh, why did I?

Oh, why did I?

In those first hours, no one heard me

Scream at the hateful, cold eternity

And I have been floating ever since then

With nobody but the darkness as my friend

And if they had asked me, I wouldn't have agreed

That it was the right thing when they

Shot me off a dying planet in a tin-sized escape pod

There was room only for a bed and porthole that I watched my home explode from

The com-link's open, but there's no one tuned in on the other side

Why did I deserve to live? Did I just deserve to watch them die?

Oh, why did I?

They shot me off a dying planet in a tin-sized escape pod
