I'm a space man out here all alone Exploring worlds so far from home It's cold and dark but I was warned That it's a choice to be alone And this stark beauty is ice cold 1000 light years far from home Here in the deep I was spellbound Didn't hear the warning sound Now I've lost what can't be found I set the course I am earthbound And this stark beauty is ice cold 1000 light years far from home I am a spaceman all alone I lost my way I lost my home I thought I didn't need a soul Till I was gripped by this black hole And this stark beauty is ice cold 1000 light years far from home Here in the deep I was spellbound Didn't hear the warning sound Now I've lost what can't be found I set the course I am earthbound And this stark beauty is ice cold 1000 light years far from home I am a spaceman all alone

I was exploring EZ Aquarii When my AI picked a reading that we couldn't recognize We combed through the data I was horrified An enormous situation greatly magnified Yeah, we saw it On the scanner Knew it came from Another planet (oh lord) Reacted Didn't plan it Set the target Let them have it (no no no no) Our first contact with intelligent life Everything was dangling on the edge of a knife I could never risk that they'd find our home A lot of times it's better if you keep yourself alone A dynamic Of rising panic Causing havoc Mental static Couldn't risk it Couldn't chance it Had to kill it Had to crack it Couldn't risk it Couldn't chance it Fate is fickle Best to stab it The view is very different in a parallax I made an ugly choice and destroyed the artifacts There's nothing new under any of these suns Another sad tale of two strangers and a gun There's nothing new under any of these suns Another sad tale of two strangers and a gun Couldn't risk it Couldn't chance it Had to kill it Had to crack it Couldn't risk it Couldn't chance it Fate is fickle Best to stab it The view is very different from the parallax I made an ugly choice and destroyed the artifacts There's nothing new under any of these suns Another sad tale of two strangers and a gun There's nothing new under any of these suns Another sad tale of two strangers and a gun Couldn't risk it Couldn't chance it Fate is fickle Best to stab it

Why are we all alone Standing on this stone Why are we all alone Searching for our home Why are we all alone Where has everybody gone Why are we all alone here All alone here We've searched the stars and we're all alone We've searched the stars and nobody's home We aimed our telescopes Throughout the galaxy Traveling back in time Unwinding history But there was nothing there Nothing we could see There was nothing there All of space empty

All the wise men said You can't do that You can't do that You best turn back All the wise men said You can't do that You can't do that That's half cracked Sail your ship on to the west Come face to face with fact For as the eye can plainly see The Earth is clearly flat Ignore that foolish Edison His bulb will never light The notion's purely fanciful It's kerosene for night The sun revolves around the earth And we can never fly The moon will stay far from reach Too high up in the sky Told we'd never reach this world A planet we call Eden They said it was impossible And we were only dreaming But here we are to hoist the flag Our feet on solid ground A colony amongst the stars Our future has been found Dream as you once did When you were but a child Cause dreams will shape our future So let your dreams run wild

Buried deep in dreams Like a snowy quilt Under all these layers Buried to the hilt It's a vast distance To the next star It's a hail mary Can we push that far All these years will pass Like shadows on pebbled glass And while we sleep The sleep of the dead We are lost to those we loved Fading in their heads Our love hangs In suspended animation It's all strange Suspended animation Can't get high In suspended animation Can't ask why In suspended animation I might die In suspended animation Buried deep in dreams Suspended animation No one hears your screams Suspended animation It's a roulette game Suspended animation You're missing from the frame Suspended animation I'm missing from the frame No one feels your pain Suspended animation There's nothing you can gain Suspended animation At least there is no shame Suspended animation Stay in from the rain Buried deep in dreams Like a snowy quilt Under all these layers Buried to the hilt It's a vast distance To the next star It's a hail mary Can we push that far All these years will pass Like shadows on pebbled glass Heavy slumber long and deep Eons spent to make the leap And while we sleep The sleep of the dead We are lost to those we loved Fading in their heads

You always dreamed of contact You always dreamed they'd come And in your dreams of rainbows You never dreamed you'd run Now you scramble to survive And all your dreams are done You can never hide from the alien You can never hide from the alien You can never hide from the alien You always dreamed of open arms You always dreamed of smiles And in your dreams of sunshine You never dreamed you'd die Hostile and relentless They never let you breathe They unleash their viruses Their vectors of disease You can never hide from the alien You can never hide from the alien You always dreamed of brotherhood You always dreamed of good And in your dreams of lavender You weren't starving in the woods Now you're cold and suffering They have you on the ropes This is when they snuff out your hope You can never hide from the alien You can never hide from the alien

Woken from my sleep Suspended animation Babbling in my head Confusing conversations Chaos on the ship Emergent situation Auto drones disabled Distressing computations Virtual assistant Nagging in my head Instruction inconsistent Drowning in my dread Acid perspiration Struggle for control Growing desperation Threatens to explode Stimulant injection Heightened concentration Narrowing of focus Intense triangulation Crackling under pressure Worrisome projection Mechanical oppressor Pivotal connection Frantic desolation Critical cascade Wretched defecation Anguished and afraid Face oblivion Ship obliteration Stare into the void This is mission termination

I'm on the top of Olympus Mons, mon. The highest mountain in the solar system Boom Bap beat that The crew call me reckless, crazy Who climbs a 21 km high mountain when one tiny little mistake can end it all? When an entire planet is already out to kill you I have to admit, from the outside looking in, it's suicidal. So why do it? Cause it's there, begging to be climbed. Sure it's crazy. I'm crazy. We're all crazy. I mean, we spent 7 months sailing the airless void to get here from Earth, where one tiny little mistake can end it all. Sound familiar? Who does that? No matter what the psyche evaluations claim, not a regular, normal, sane persons. That's for damn sure. But even amongst the strangest of the strange, I admit I'm the strangest of all. The call me The Martian. Apparently it was an old movie. Something about science the shit, or science is the shit. Something like that. Really, I feel like the king of Mars right now. What a view. Whoo. All that red. Same stuff that makes our blood red. It's like an entire planet of rust. We know it's iron oxide, but we don't actually know how all that iron got oxided – that's a scientific term. Not enough oxygen in the atmosphere these days to rust a nail. Mysteries to be studied and solved, but conquering Olympus Mons couldn't wait. It's a volcano after all – could blow anytime. Or never. Got to figure out if ol Mons still have lava bubbling in its heart. More mysteries of Mars. Well, I best get going or I'll turn to rust myself. It's a 21 km hike back to the rover and it's not like I can sit and have a picnic here. Signing off – Robert Mathe... The Martian. The Martian signing off.
