Kilonova

Between the earthrise and moonquakes
What do you do?
Do you serve in heaven or reign in hell?

Everyone has a choice
And every choice has a consequence
Everyone has a voice
And some use it for dominance

Never tell me that the sky’s the limit
When there are footprints on the Moon
Never tell me that
One last ride and I’ll leave the world behind
As the neutron stars they entwine

Between the gravity pull and the vast expanse
What do you do?
Do you drift through the nebula of heartache?

Everyone has a choice
And every choice has a consequence
Everyone has a voice
And some use it for dominance

I have seen beyond the bounds of infinity
And harnessed the force in this cosmic divorce

Never tell me that the sky’s the limit
When there are footprints on the Moon
Never tell me that
One last ride and I’ll leave the world behind
As the neutron stars they entwine

Couldn’t hope to hold down a heart
Any more than you could shackle the stars to the earth
The fault is not in our stars but in ourselves

Bedrock laws crushed to sand
A kilonova in the palm of my hand
Your wish is not my command
Your wish is not my command
No, your wish is not my command
No, your wish is not my command

Never tell me that the sky’s the limit
When there are footprints on the Moon
Never tell me that
One last ride and I’ll leave the world behind
As the neutron stars they entwine
