The Last Orbit

Storyline context:
When you have everything, you have everything to lose.  When the once desired becomes mundane it’s easy to find yourself coming full circle…waiting for something else.  There is no geographical or external cure for this.  The resolution comes when you realize that all you have to lose…is everything. 

I bring machines so I can breathe
The atmosphere here is dry and clean
I fall asleep so I can dream of beautiful geometry
Light speed is a luxury
I can’t afford not to have anymore
And gravity’s tidal heat will keep me warm
On the surface of Ganymede

Tonight I want to dream of a blue horizon
To feel the warmth of broad daylight

Is the new religion of technology
Extending my life through the miracle of chemistry
So I can stay another year
And protect my reputation
A chromatic aberration from darker days…a premonition
Collecting the figments of my imagination
In the empty shell of my incarceration
As the story twists around endless variation
I fall asleep…it’s my escape
As the signal fades into the starry deep

Tonight I want to dream of a blue horizon
To feel the warmth of broad daylight
One last flight around the ring tonight
One last chance to hold the dream

End Last Transmission

With a valence of 1 in the outer shell
It’s hard to tell with imagination
If you are really alone
But don’t get me wrong
I get human interaction here
The main data feed has TV and radio
