Lyrics
My Cosmos Is Mine
Don't play with my world
Don't mess with my mind
Don't question my spacetime
My cosmos is mine
Don't toy with my heart
Don't knock down my shrines
Don't alter my headlines
My cosmos is mine
No war, no war, no war, no war
No more, no more, no more, no more
No fear, no fear, no fear, no fear
Not here, not here, not here, not here
No rain, no clouds
No pain, no shrouds
No final breaths
No senseless deaths
Don't stare at my soul
I swear it is fine
Its borders are outlined
My cosmos is mine
My cosmos is mine
