This great bear, she fills the sky, Never leaves, bathes in the sea Fixture of the night, Northern beast to western eyes And the seven brightest lights Wagon, cleaver or plow Help find Polaris’ bright Beacon home Looking at the night sky Twenty seven points drawn together Laying back with open eyes Trying to see Ursa Major Staring at the night sky Several galaxies cluster there Contemplate the bright lights That compose Ursa Major That compose Ursa Major Seven stones, sages or sons Or one who came alone Power, sowing, wisdom Northern light on eastern shores This constellation Filament and void Sparks imagination Beyond our home Looking at the night sky Twenty seven points drawn together Laying back with open eyes Trying to see Ursa Major Staring at the night sky Several galaxies cluster there Contemplate the bright lights That compose Ursa Major That compose Ursa Major And it’s the same thing At a fixed point in the sky And where we’re looking Determines what we find It isn’t changing It pays us no mind Devoid of meaning Yet somehow alive Looking at the night sky Twenty seven points drawn together Laying back with opened eyes Trying to see Ursa Major Staring at the night sky Several galaxies cluster there Contemplate the bright lights That compose Ursa Major That compose Ursa Major

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. Then the traveller in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark; He could not see where to go, If you did not twinkle so. In the dark blue sky you keep, And often through my curtains peep, For you never shut your eye Till the sun is in the sky. When this blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.

Come and See 04:45
Come and sit with me Take my hand and see You could have everything We could have everything All that is known to be Available for free You can know anything We can know anything Come watch the world go to hell We have good seats for the show As it fades Come watch the world go to hell Come and see all that we know As it fades away Take this cup from me Abdication or a plea You won't know anything Why know anything Knowledge left to thee From these constraints set free Some future everything Superseding everything Come watch the world go to hell We have good seats for the show As it fades Come watch the world go to hell Come and see all that we know As it fades away If nothing matters then nothing matters Come watch the world go to hell We have good seats for the show As it fades Come watch the world go to hell Come and see all that we know As it fades Come watch the world go to hell We have good seats for the show As it fades away

Of Nebulae 04:49
A cellular collection, will fail and fall, Without reaching perfection, Consumed by earth and birthed to atmosphere, Never recall what happened here. These fleeting perceptions Covered by the pall Mountains crumble And seas run dry Stand there humbled Don’t avert the eyes The wicked, the kind, the just All return to dust Every prayer and confession Bounced against a wall This eternal obsession Is it love or is it fear Distracting from the corporeal A transgression Against a call Mountains crumble And seas run dry Stand there humbled Don’t avert the eyes The wicked, the kind, the just All return to dust Every morning an eden And twilight calls Every second fleeting Observers floating on the wind Hoping for worlds without end Each moment an eden Each moment an eden Each moment an eden Each moment an eden As twilight calls Mountains crumble And seas run dry Stand here humbled Don’t avert the eyes The wicked, the kind, the just All return to dust

Wandering Moscow’s busy streets Creature who ages in sevens Content in sating appetites Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens Given home in space decreasing Environs new to this small peasant eleven pound husky mutnik Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens Alone, Alone, Floating in low orbit alone, Just a brief moment and then you will depart, Alone, adrift, amongst the stars Quiet and charming little curly One of three to heed the lesson Centrifuge for acceleration Alone, adrift amongst the heavens Sacrifice on a one way mission Conditional mammalian presence Prepare the way for astronauts Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens Alone, Alone, Floating in low orbit alone, Just a brief moment and then you will depart, Alone, adrift, amongst the stars kiss her nose and attached the wires Hatch closed October fifty seven Sputnik two launches into orbit Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens Telemetry showed agitation no signs of life by hour seven Poison, stress or asphyxiation? Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens Alone, Alone, Floating in low orbit alone, Just a brief moment and then you will depart, Alone, adrift, amongst the stars Six months later upon reentry Complete, total disintegration Nothing left but our fevered dreams Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens Alone, Alone, Floating in low orbit alone, Just a brief moment and then you will depart, Alone, adrift, amongst the stars Just a brief moment and then you will depart, Alone, adrift, amongst the stars

about

Gabe Schwartz Ohio

Witness the sight of a middle-aged man trying hard to not seem like he's trying hard and spiraling in shame because of it. Drink in the self interest masquerading as self effacing in the midst of self serving self deprecation.
Gabe Schwartz is a nominal musician and songwriter. Possibly. He attempts these feats alone as testament to the great difficulty he has in interacting with others.
