I used to think the stars were watching
Like they cared where I laid my head
But they’ve been burnin’ since before names meant anything
Long before "I" ever said
We’re a flicker in the furnace
A whisper in a vacuum scream
We mapped the heavens with a compass
Just to feel like we had dreams
They told us we were chosen
Crowned kings of everything we see
But the ants beneath my windowsill
Seem just as proud as me
I’m not important, and neither are you
The universe don’t care what we do
So let’s drink wine in the parking lot
Skip the part where we try to mean a lot
Soak up this dumb, chaotic chance
Spin in the dance, forget the plan
We’re all just breath in passing weather
And none of this was built to last forever
We carved our names into a planet
Then blamed it when it started to bleed
Said we’d “conquered nature,” whatever that means
As if air ever needed to breathe
We count years like they owe us answers
But we’re toddlers in cosmic time
You blink, and your whole species stutters
Just a footnote on a dying vine
There’s bacteria that’s older than our gods
And it never built a thing
Still it thrives, quiet, unbothered
While we wage wars for rings
I’m not important, and neither are you
The stars won’t shift if we’re untrue
So let’s break rules with full intention
Tear down guilt and reinvention
Toast to dust, to fading light
To finding peace in being slight
We’re all just flickers in collapsing space
And meaning ain’t a thing we need to chase
"Hey, what if the point is that there's no point?
And we get to make one up, just for fun?"
I tried to feel special
Cosmic, divine
But now I just dance in the grocery line
There’s freedom in the ordinary
When you stop pretending it’s legendary
Maybe love ain’t sacred, but it’s warm
And laughter’s just biology in swarm
But damn if it don’t feel holy when you’re near
Even if the stars won’t hear
I’m not important, and neither are you
And that's the best news I ever knew
Let’s scream into the canyon wide
And laugh when no one says goodbye
No legacy, no grand design
Just tiny fires we light in time
So raise a glass to the great absurd
The truth is quiet
And rarely heard
Isn’t it kinda beautiful?
