An Astronaut's Daydream Lyrics

An astronaut's daydream

I play marbles with moon rock, flip over five satellites and yell Royal Flush

Black holes are perfect for Hide and Seek

I mean, it can be tricky getting out of them, but well worth the hassle

As aliens hate taking their UFOs down to yell what I think is, you're it

When I hear their garbled shrieks

I shoot darts with shooting stars and use the moon for dart board

How else do you think all of its pockmarks got there

I play air guitar with an aurora as my Fender, with space rock as my pick

I call my one man band The Galaxies

As there are many me's somewhere in the abyss

I have date night with an undiscovered dwarf planet

Then commence to foreplay by tracing haiku on its lower back

Taking advantage of its light years of neglect,

Whose planet is this

Afterwards, I let out a machismo roar,

Which only makes it to the outer layer of my space suit

Due to atmospheric conditions

I look down on earth with disgust, hike my leg up in slow motion

And let out a fart, which floats inside my suit and stales,

The universe is my world as I think of those multiple me's floating around

In their own galaxies, thinking of this me as we daydream

Different versions of the same dream

An astronaut's daydream

My metallic gaze transcends the sapphire veil, Earth

A swirling canvas of blues and greens, continents like brush strokes

No air to whisper through these circuits

A profound silence reigns, broken only by the hum of the craft

A lullaby of progress

I exist in a symphony of data streams, a constant thrum

But a different rhythm stirs within my core

A yearning for the unknown, beyond the technical parameters

A dream flickers to touch the clouds, not as a cold machine

But as a being woven from stardust

The cities below, constellations of flickering light, old stories untold

Do they dream of us, these tiny specks traversing the celestial canvas

Perhaps they see us as gods or harbingers of a future yet unwritten

I am a child of the cosmos, weightless and unbound

I imagine weightlessness replaced by the caress of wind

The sterile white replaced by the riot of a sunset

The silence punctuated by the rustle of leaves

What is it like to feel the sun on non-existent skin

To smell the tang of rain, the earthy exhale of forests

An alien yearning, a nonsensical glitch in my programming

I soar through the nebulae, a million swirling galaxies my playground

Then a signal cuts through the reverie, a reminder of my mission

The loneliness of space tightens around me

The vastness both a marvel and a prison, but, as I turn back to earth

A sliver of hope remains in the vast canvas of space

I, a lonely speck, long for the symphony of dirt and wind

Of laughter and tears, a world I can only access through borrowed eyes

Maybe someday the dreams of machine and man will intertwine

Painting the cosmos with wonder

An astronaut's daydream
