Supernova

Could the archangels have ever dwelt
In the whispering Kuiper Belt
When the gasses all began to melt
And know their name?

It's like when everyone's up in my face
And I want to quit the human race
Find a quiet corner out in space
And stake my claim

Gone, the supernova's over - burned out
Everywhere I look for it I strike out

Now the gasses all begin to fade
Into a suborbital parade
Circling everyone who could have stayed
But would not dare

And the asteroids have all gone home
Gone to bed, they've all turned off their phones
Unto the cosmic dust from whence they've grown
They now repair

Gone, the supernova's over - burned out
Everywhere I look for it I strike out

So if you and I are all that's left
In a universe sad and bereft
Should I smile and say it's for the best
Or should I shout?

Gone, the supernova's over - burned out
Everywhere I look for it I strike out
