[Verse 1]
There was confusion and there were flames
I had always felt the fire call my name
But this was different, I could taste the fear
And the sweet release as the end of all drew near

[Pre-Chorus]
I will never understand why, why

[Chorus]
They shot me off a dying planet in a tin-sized escape pod
There was room only for a bed and porthole that I watched my home explode from
The com-link's open, but there's no one tuned in on the other side
Why did I deserve to live? Did I just deserve to watch them die?

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, why did I?
Oh, why did I?

[Verse 2]
In those first hours, no one heard me
Scream at the hateful, cold eternity
And I have been floating ever since then
With nobody, but the darkness as my friend

[Pre-Chorus]
And if they had asked me, I wouldn't have agreed
That it was the right thing when they
[Chorus]
Shot me off a dying planet in a tin-sized escape pod
There was room only for a bed and porthole that I watched my home explode from
The com-link's open, but there's no one tuned in on the other side
Why did I deserve to live? Did I just deserve to watch them die?

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, why did I?

[Outro]
They shot me off a dying planet in a tin-sized escape pod
