Going to Mars

More lyrics I hope to use in a song one day. But I want to make sure this gets out there. Don't give into the idea of going to Mars. You can't come back -- they've said so themselves. It's NOT worth it.

Here away from all of them
On a path of scientific discovery
Red planet clouds and dust and rocks surrounding me

I miss the grass and clear blue skies
I miss the air and all my friends
There's no way back, I'm nowhere until I die

All the wasted years
What else could I have done?
I have the rest of my life to think about it

I hate this planet, I hate the stars, I hate the rocks
I hate technology, I hate myself
I hate myself

I hope science enjoys the discoveries
All I've discovered is irreversible sadness
What else could I have done?

It all seemed so fun on Earth
Earth, all the brightness and color
I wonder what they're doing without me

We're here until we die
Our bodies will rot until the end
On a far-off planet's surface

I would give everything I have
To go back for just one day
To say what I never said, to do what I never did

Here away from all of them
On a path of scientific discovery
Lonely with the dust and my regrets...
Neither of which console me anymore

Lord, God, what have I done?
Until I reach Heaven itself, I am still just
Lonely with the dust and my regrets...
Neither of which console me anymore
