Sleep Alone

First I shut down the stars
Because you said they ruled us.
Then I took out Mars,
He was the cruelest.
His lover followed suit,
By way of suicide.
The others stood there silent,
As I dealt out peace of mind.
Shut me up,
Shut me down,
Try me if you can.
My love, I’ll show you nothing
I’m a misanthropic man.
This is the journey,
To the edge of the night,
I’ve got no companions
Only Celine on my side.
I don’t need nothing from no-one
The needle’s in the red,
Nothing to lose,
Everything’s dead
Shut me up,
Shut me down,
Stop me if you can.
My love, I’ll tell you nothing
I’m a misanthropic man.
The sky is empty / silent,
The Earth still as stone,
So nothing stands above me,
Now I can sleep alone.
