In This Corner of The Galaxy

And here we are

Standing at this corner of the galaxy

And if I could choose where I could go

You\'d maybe think of Barcelona or Uganda

But I\'d choose the corner of the galaxy

Because I want to be where the last stars shine

Where our expansion ceases

And our oceans of curiosity and infinity cut.

And if I could choose anyone from the past, present or future

You\'d think I\'d choose Albert Einstein, or the future inventor of time machines

But abnormal brilliance is not my first language

So here we are

At this corner of the galaxy

Why not Venice? Or the Netherlands?

Perhaps, because I wanted to show

That as I am surrounded by the millions of stars that finalize the end of this expanding abyss

I\'d rather gaze at you than all the stars that luminesce around me

And as we stand in this corner of the galaxy

We watch the earth cave in

The world dies, and the galaxy is not infinite.

But here we stand, timeless and everlasting

 

In this corner of the galaxy.
