There is just as much space in here But there is so much less stuff inside of it And there is just as much sky above But there is nothing in ours Have we drifted too far away Cuz I can’t see you out there Signals dead or it’s in my head Cuz I can’t receive what I can’t believe Anything and everything is now and here It’s always been Since the beginning but then There was closer Now we face inside Amuse, distract, indulge and defy Our perceptual faculties Have atrophied constantly When the empty Look out upon the void What could they possibly see When all freedoms been destroyed You can flood electric light above But you won’t wash away the blood It’s not that simple to tear me apart When I’d rather be racing the dark We call out to the skies Nobody replies It’s not that simple to tear me apart I know that somewhere out there There’s somebody racing the dark 250 million light years 13.8 billion light years 46.5 billion light years Away There’s got to be Somebody out there far away Maybe we’ll never meet But deep within the same empty We burn our lives away Staring into our own fire We pour our smoke into the sky And hide the cosmos with our light Keep it close Keep it safe Keep it protected Keep it locked away When you need it You’re sure to notice Our hubris and clumsiness Laziness building the ark Is it close Is it the same Do we even know From whence we came We build it up Push it down down down When I go out at night I’m always amazed by how much I can’t see There’s only a couple of stars where I live But when I was a child I went to the country And I saw with my own eyes A slice of our galaxy I’ve been searching my whole life For that feeling You can flood electric light above But you won’t wash away the blood It’s not that simple to tear me apart When I’d rather be racing the dark We call out to the skies Nobody replies It’s not that simple to tear me apart Beyond the event horizon There’s someone, there's someone There’s got to be someone Somebody racing the dark Beyond the event horizon There’s someone, there's someone There’s got to be someone Somebody racing the dark But I’d rather be racing the dark But I’d rather be racing the Racing the Racing the dark But I’d rather be racing the dark So tear me apart But I'd rather be racing the dark
