Here are we
On this starry night staring into space.
And I must say
I feel as small as dust
Lying down here.

Head down wondering what will
Become of me,
Why concern we cannot see
But no reason to abandon it.
Time is short but that's all right,
Maybe I'll go in the middle of the night.

Everything must end some time,
Don't burn the day away. — Dave Matthews

Staring into space might unintentionally have the opposite effect. — Haruki Murakami
