Lyrics

Alien Inside

A star

A soft memory turning away from starlight to self

Asking to remember

The first death

The last birth

The first time you recognised the alien inside

In the face of abject misery

You remember, remember, remember the posthuman celestial sparkle

A mutant faith

A mutant faith

An identity, be

Perhaps nothing but a chance construct

Your vanity (Construct)

Your vanity, or your sanctuary

Your vanity (Construct)

Your vanity, or your sanctuary

Your sanctuary, or your sanctuary

Or your sanctuary

Or your sanctuary

-tuary
