lyrics

Laika


hey Andromeda!
hey Pleiades!
Can you hear me?

I was thrown into this ocean
as black as oil
Oh how my heart blazed and buckled
like a tesla coil

And all the red giants
gathered ‘round
and dragged my body from the machine
and they carried me away on the clouds
of helium that they breathe.

Roh Cassiopeiae!
Cor Caroli!
Can you hear me?

My limbs darken now
at their mineral seams
I shed my fur,
my phantom claws and teeth.

And they scatter through the sky like seed
as I become a deathless thing,
bright as a blade for all to see,
and for their measured space and symmetry
their golden domed observatories
their astrolabes and careful cruelty
I burn.

I am burning.

But here from the heel of orion
the galaxy is quiet and pure
below me, I watch it opening
like an artichoke flower.
