Shelter in Place by Erich Zann Lyrics

So many hours, sick of
Crouching in this darkened bay
My burning quads, the icy deck
Unintelligible thuddings from the companionway
My shaking hands

It came upon us in the dark
A derelict hull blotted out the stars
An ancient curse from a faraway place
A ravenous stowaway that came in silence for my crewmates
One by one

Time and space deformed by unseen shapes. Shelter in place

Someone will find this ship of ghosts —
My metal bolthole, my huddled bones —
And wonder about my final moments
With that thing out there and me alone in here
Alone alone alone

They will not know this is a ship
They'll think it's just a normal school
They will not notice the pinhole breach
In the bulkhead where my spirit squeezed out and flew
To the stars
Time and space deformed by unseen shapes. Shelter in place

Send your mind to the black sun
That inhales all black thought
Out in the hall he...nevermind
I'll leave it in this black box for you
I hope it won't seem too forward of me
I just won't need it anymore
