chronology of fading stars

broken star, shining dim no place among the stars be as it may, i’ve faded away into the deep blue cosmos found the the best and the worst and the galaxies worth keeping

oh, be as it may all i see is death and decay the sparkling nebula that belongs to only the grimmest of us the graveyard of souls, ripped apart in a split second, ashing from the start

be as it may, i’ve seen time and space in disarray the stars align for the wrong side worlds split in two, till no one can hide past, present, future, it all ripples forth the universe will never determine my worth.
