We Are the Universe

We are the universe
We are the dust that disappears into the cracks
We are invincible
We wear our privilege as our biggest asset yet
We are the universe
We float indifferently but louder than the rest
We sleep with one eye open
Fifteen short minutes may be all we ever get
Look what we’ve done
Staring at a big bright yellow sun
Look how we run
Only to go back, we are no one
We are the universe
The sun will rise above our giant hollow heads
We hold our options open
We stay in sight to keep our worth and ego’s fed
Look what we’ve done
Staring at a big bright yellow sun
Look how we run
Only to go back, we are no one
