Jenna Paul Shapera (Ft. Abby Holmstrom)

Jenna:
The lights are dim, they stutter
And the powers almost gone
Just four bites a day I’ve eaten
But the food did not last long

And the cold descends uncaring
As the shuttle floats away
Slowly drifting out to nowhere
Slowly swallowed up by space

I hear shadows, I hear objects, in the dark they talk so low
Sharing secrets, sharing longings, hours pass so very slow
Objects bare their feelings to me in the cold here where I lay
Spinning dreams, I’m seventeen and yet my mind and life are floating far away

Is this all there is for me
Is this all I get to see
Opening credits on the screen

Uncle Ray how much I loved him, and the crew I loved them too
My first scout ship, so excited, an excursion, off we flew
But a ship, it came from nowhere, it attacked, we turned and fled
All this yelling and explosions, then it's quiet and they're dead

And now everything's all broken, I don't know which way is home
That I'm still alive and love them, that I'm here they’ll never know
And the days are passing slowly, and the bodies still lie dead
And the shadows are my company and I’ll never get to see my home again
