lyrics

Searching through the debris
For anything left that mocks me
Finding survivors and snap their necks
Floating apart from their planet

Cast away to find a new home
Free floating forever
Few can survive
It’s chilling to the bone
In the oxygen minimum zone

Left to die alone
Stuck in zero gravity
Oh the ironic Clamity
Uncontrollable decent
Floating in Blackness

Immortality is the key to success
You sit there and squirm, I'll take care of the rest
Feeling Weightless feels terrible I must confess
Destruction of all life forms’ destiny
Evolution has taken place
Left to die alone

Comb all of the wreckage and bring me what remains

No constriction in the freedom of space
Until I get my hands you
Wring you out— all of your goo
Preservation is a laughing matter
Throw you into the gravitational pull

Do you hear the splatter?
Enslaved— Locked in the cosmos
If I find you— I’ll rearrange your body
Into a horrid mutation
Beyond the point of return
There will be no retaliation
I will kill you

Free floating forever
Free floating forever

Floating in blackness
Like a damsel in distress
Uncontrollable decent in to any direction
Unaware of a final destination
They end lies at the end of my tentacle
Obliteration of all life is historical
I am the only oracle
Free floating for so long you collect more barnacle
Sink deeper into space
You're free floating through the oxygen minimum zone
Left to die all alone
You're like a message in a bottle
But the cap wasn't tight enough so it sank right off shore
Stuck in zero gravity
Oh the ironic Clamity
No constriction in the freedom of space
Until I get my hands you
Wring you out of all your goo
Preservation is a laughing matter
Throw you in to the gravitational pull and listen for the splatter
Dawn of a new age
Enslaved and locked in a shark cage
Feel the itch for an entertainment show
Rig up your family with explosives and watch them blow
So keep floating and hope you die of starvation
If I find you, I'll rearrange your body into a horrid mutation
Beyond the point of return
There will be no retaliation
