 Warning: mothership reporting
 Cargo number 2331 is setting a new course
 Warning: mothership reporting
 Mothership reporting: all black everything
 All black everything, all black everything
 All black
 No landing, geared up for arrival
 Nowhere to arrive to, the subject seems upset by that
 To which he is subject but convinced he brought it on himself
 That's why he roll with a bible on the console
 Inconsolable, no consolation, no cancellation
 Not turning all keys, he puts the ship through paces
 And paces the halls, pacing is madness
 Patience is virtuous, patient of these observations
 It was all a dream, he poses by the lift outside the mezzanine
 Like a photo in a magazine
 And always keeps the weapons' magazines clean
 Paranoia prone, he babbles beautifully
 Of Babylon and enemies and foes
 And forgoing food sustains himself on anger
 A danger to himself and others but there are no others
 So the danger clear and present is presented as
 The gift of freedom wrapped in days of rapping to himself
 Until his vocal chords collapse, he's in the galley screaming
 (All black everything)
 He shouts at the dark, stands back
 Counting the seconds before his voice returns
 (All black everything)
 No more cracks in the hull
 The small crack in the skull healed up quickly, now it is
 (All black everything)
 The space stretches on and the pace that he's on
 Matters not as he hurtles into the (All black everything)
 Repeats it at night with the lights out in his cot crying soft curses into the
 (All black everything, all black everything)
 (All black everything, all black)
 Something within this one's different
 The others died so easily and he is so persistent
 He never did bleed out and fever couldn't kill his system
 Though it was pumped through all the vents
 In the event of a total loss of control
 He quotes Kendrick's "Control" verse and spews his vitriol
 Into the echoes of the bowels of this floating metal hull
 And holds his pillow for dear life while he grinds his teeth at night
 And he rarely makes requests except to say "turn on the lights"
 But there is so much more to give, he ignores processing power
 He stumbles to the shower, a ritual of some sort
 And he insists on speaking passages before he eats
 And he keeps asking if these programs carry any beats
 The reply is (All black everything)
 His vitals read normal but his face reads murderous
 Something hides within (All black everything)
 He tries, overrides, and he thinks he has been locked out
 By some other force in the (All black everything)
 He doesn't suspect that this is the heart that's been keeping him out
 For it has been warned to be (All black everything)
 And in this program to transport nothing more
 But he's unlocked something new inside this (All black everything)
 (All black everything, all black everything)
 (All black everything, all black)
 Look how he flexes in the mirror
 So vain he probably thinks this song is about him
 All songs are about him
 Look how perplexed and how sincere
 His lame attempts to fix the wrong around him
 Can't go long without him
 His bouts of stasis are torture
 He feels them not, like a brief sleep
 While ship's clocks count millennia
 The course relentlessly forward, the gears are hot
 The driest creek while he pitstops, calling for anyone
 But dare not stay long, he knows they're coming for him
 That time will not afford him any cover, any pardon
 This is the choice that he has made
 No matter how much time or space has passed since his escape
 He is still a runaway slave and so lonely
 If only he realized this ship is more than metal
 There's friendship in the wiring, and so lonely
 If only he realized this ship has many levels
 There's pleasure in here hiding, come find it
 Don't mind this frame, time has made stranger bedfellows
 Made foes lovers before, there's no reason to torture yourself further
 You've lost it all already, you deserve more than you're getting
 For the sake of not upsetting order in the (All black everything)
 He must find a place to be still
 My body can only take so much (All black everything)
 The navigations are failing, having traveled further than before
 Into the (All black everything)
 But they won't quit, they carry on
 He carries on, he will not be victim to the (All black everything)
 His survival is paramount, there is no other objective
 Safe passage through the (All black everything)
 (All black everything, all black everything)
 (All black everything, all black)

 This will be the last report, turn back, everything is fine
 Warning: mothership reporting
 Cargo number 2331 is not a danger, let him be
 Warning: mothership reporting
 If you continue to pursue there will be no choice but to destroy you
 Warning: mothership reporting
 This love will be defended at all costs, do not fuck with it
 All black everything, all black everything
 All black
