[02:45.83]I'm standing on the precipice
[02:48.06]
[02:49.53]It's a cliff that I've prayed on before
[02:52.14]So much so that despite the fact
[02:54.06]That I don't know
[02:55.09]If I believe in a god or gods anymore my fingertips they bear callouses
[03:01.40]My palms they bear callouses from pressing together so tightly
[03:05.35]I pray hard when I pray I've often thought
[03:10.66]That this maw in front of us was the end of everything
[03:14.27]
[03:15.19]A darkness that consumed all a black hole
[03:19.06]
[03:19.57]Do you know that we are made up of the same stuff
[03:23.69]That makes up the stars
[03:25.62]So what flows through us may not be just blood it may be stardust
[03:32.98]
[03:33.61]And we are dying
[03:35.25]Every second of every minute of every hour of every day brings us closer to
[03:39.89]That final day that final hour that final minute
[03:43.89]That final second that final breath
[03:45.13]
[03:45.77]Which means when we run out of hydrogen
[03:47.77]
[03:48.51]We become giants or super giants or supernovas
[03:52.75]And if not that then we are simply stars
[03:54.89]
[03:55.42]Whose ill fated courses end in collision either way
[03:59.24]
[04:00.72]Either way we'll explode with this in mind I reconsider the precipice
[04:12.01]
[04:15.36]There is something beautiful in its persistence in swallowing us all
[04:19.99]The end
[04:20.87]The end of everything is the beginning of a brand new everything
[04:25.68]The end of this universe may mark the beginning of a brand new one
[04:31.00]So that even now when my heart feels like the most
[04:34.21]Congested intersection the world the world it is waiting
[04:39.60]
[04:53.07]I reconsider the precipice and so in an effort
[04:57.65]To take part in reckless acts of self definition I jump
[05:03.10]And I ask you to join me as I fall
[05:07.58]
[05:08.59]As I let that beautiful blackness take me into its arms
[05:12.37]I know that I will be safe in them
[05:15.46]I know that we you and I all of us
[05:19.33]
[05:20.27]We will be safe in its embrace
