[ Featuring the Atomic Pawns ]
I've done the math
I know where this is going to
There's no other path
Nothing left but to see it through
Can't alter this trajectory
A quintessence of mad futility
And no amount of empathy
Will sate that bastard entropy
The process irreversible
The vacuum untraversable
I can measure the geometry
Map out all the where's and why's
A pointless act of pure cartography
To plot the course of my demise
The old professor of astronomy
It's time for him to step aside
'Cause baby's got a new cosmology
And there are different stars
Spinning in her skies
Connections left neglected
Now leave our world transected
The lives that intersected
Now causally disconnected
The forces that once were binding
Become the means of our unwinding
The sun has set on this mythology
The time has come to recognize
Our fates are sealed by topology
There will not be a last reprise
And this old professor of astronomy
It's time for me to step aside
'Cause baby's got a new cosmology
And there are different stars
Spinning in her skies
