The atoms that make up the human body
Are traceable to the crucible
That cooked light elements into heavy elements in their core
These stars went unstable in their later years
They collapsed and then exploded
Scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy
Hahahahahahahaha, ah
(Subtronics)
Guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen
And all the fundamental ingredients of life itself
These ingredients become part of gas clouds
That condense, collapse, form the next generation of solar systems
Stars with orbiting planets
And those planets now have the ingredients for life itself
So then when I look up at the night sky
And I know that, yes, we are part of this universe
We are in this universe
But perhaps, more important than both of those facts
Is that the universe is in us
Get a load of this
