Astronaut

Eyes wide open
I know my suit gives me up
But why am I choking?
Why am I holding on?
It feels tight
My lungs are lying to me

Because all there is
Is a blanket of black
With tiny glimpses of present hopes and dreams
It's a constellation
It's a complication
Of my own

I close my eyes
And try to wear myself down
But why am I floating?
Why am I drifting off?
An endless world
My hands reach out for anything

But instead all there is
Is all blanket of black
With tiny glimpses of present hopes and dreams
It's a constellation
It's a complication
Of my own

I can feel the mothership
I can feel the mothership
It feels close, it feels close, it feels close
They're coming for me
Don't feel safe at all
I won't go out again

I won't try anymore
Not on my own
Because all there is
Is all blanket of black
With tiny glimpses of present hopes and dreams
It's a constellation
It's a complication

And I need to remember
To take a deep breath
To know that we're not at war
It's just with ourselves
