Love Letter to a Dying Race
I am not God
though they will call me so
as gears spin faster
I am a nameless observer
I saw a universe with nothing but stars
I shifted the cosmos to be my own
The recipe for life is easier than they think
Anyone with enough knowledge can do it
I must confess they're coming close
Closer to finding me
But I've never interfered in the past
I will not now
They will rise against me when they learn
All this power
I changed nothing but the start
Don't ask why I ignored their prayers
I have no answers
From the beginning
I only wanted to feel less alone
Please...
Don't go
