Space Station Level 7

[Metal Sonic]

Standing on the platform of heaven, I gaze out the window to the stars around us. Earth gets farther away as we ascend higher into the intergalactic nothingness.
These stars shine for us, my love. If only you were here. If only I wasn’t alone
Ethereal voices sing in sync for us, darling. Hold my hand as they shout our destination’s name, and as the trumpets of death blare a final melody for you and me.
Leave this huge world behind and flee with me to the sea of cosmic ecology, where we can be alone together for eternity. As our elevator of time rises into infinity, feel your past worries leave your body as beauty awaits thee. These scenes upon seas of stellar beams bleed streaks of heat from the streams of galactic steam, stars’ cloudy debris sparkling distantly for us to see.
Let the universe speak as we leave our home behind, and let me keep this lie that it’s just you and I. I’m not alone, for you’re right by my side, thy light shining for my eyes; a sight only I am meant to find.
Alone at the edge of the universe with you… But I must realize soon.
Realize that you’re not here, and that I’m shedding tears. Clear as crystal, I hear the stars growing near as I steer into the white ball.

Today I rise to see the white ball in the abyss of space, to enter the face of gray graves.
If only you weren’t too late to join this place.
Days no longer matter as I play in time’s plane, the 4th dimension entering my brain.
Everything is getting gray, and I can no longer feel my own face.
Something is astray, out of place. Crazed haze from distant gamma rays hit my membrane, and I fall back in pain.
Something is killing me as I drift away, and I’m slowly going insane. I was so close to reaching the raised drapes of windows home to panes of stellar names.
