Escape Pod

There was confusion
And there were flames
I had always felt the fire call my name
But this was different
I could taste the fear
And the sweet release, as the end of all drew near
I will never understand why
Why

They shot me off a dying planet
In a tin-sized escape pod
There was room only for a bed and porthole
That I watched my home explode from
The com-link's open, but there's no one
Tuned in on the other side
Why did I deserve to live?
Did I just deserve to watch them die
Oh why did I?
Oh why did I?

In those first hours
No one heard me
Scream at the hateful, cold eternity
And I have been floating
Ever since then
With nobody but the darkness as my friend
And if they had asked me
I wouldn't have agreed
That it was the right thing when they

Shot me off a dying planet
In a tin-sized escape pod
There was room only for a bed and porthole
That I watched my home explode from
The com-link's open, but there's no one
Tuned in on the other side
Why did I deserve to live?
Did I just deserve to watch them die
Oh why did I?

They shot me off a dying planet
In a tin-sized escape pod
