Will the Stars Regret Me?

from Selfies by Men With Day Jobs

/

lyrics

I aimed to make a difference, meant to leave my mark To build a blazing fire, or at least a tiny spark I tried to set my stamp on things, put my name in lights Lift the bar and set the world to rights

I took No for a challenge, I bent and broke the rules Shook things till they rattled, refused to suffer fools Built my minor monuments, boldly forged ahead Self-congratulation in full flight

But will the stars regret me when I’m gone? Can the universe forget me and move on? Barely ruffled by the beating of my tiny insect wings A wrinkle in the fabric of the sprawling scheme of things Will my story soon be swallowed in the membranes and the strings Or will some tiny hiccup linger on And all the stars regret me when I’m gone

So now I near my journey’s end, time to clear my mind Look back on the legacy I leave to humankind I trumpet my achievements, raise my record high Here I stand, a legend in my time

But will the stars regret me when I’m gone? Can the multiverse forget me and move on?

A small unsightly blemish on the mighty cosmic face An instant of disruption in expanding time and space Will the endless oscillations settle smoothly back in place Or will some edgy echo linger on And all the stars regret me when I’m gone

I hear the future calling, I feel my destiny To make my final statement, my lasting legacy

But will the stars regret me when I’m gone?... The merest minor moment of firmamental foment Just a flicker of what failed to quite belong And all the stars regret me when I’m gone
