Lone Man In Space Lyrics

Staring out the window at a sea of stars

Counting constellations like fading scars

A whisper of home through the dark divide

Memories slipping, yet I hold them tight

I trace the photo, faces I adore

It's been twenty years, maybe even more

Time bends in the cold of this endless sky

But I feel so old, though I don't know why

I thought I'd see the sun again

Feel my daughter's hand in mine

But the mirror tells me lies

And the clock keeps stealing time

I'm a lone man in space

An echo of a dream

Floating through eternity, oh

The stars don't know my name

I'm just a flicker in the flame

And someone else will take my place

In this endless void...

My skin feels strange, my thoughts feel thin

Like a record scratched but still playing in

Every breath I take, a synthetic sigh

How long's it been since I was truly alive?

The ship's cold hum keeps me awake

A voice in my head I cannot shake

You've done your duty, it's time to rest

But something's pounding inside my chest

I thought I'd see the sun again

Feel my wife's embrace in time

But the whispers turn to screams

Was I ever truly mine?

I'm a lone man in space

An echo of a dream

Floating through eternity, oh

The stars don't know my name

I'm just a flicker in the flame

And someone else will take my place

In this endless void

And there he stands, the same face, same eyes

But his smile is colder than the endless skies

He steps forward, I'm stepping back

A silent exchange, my world fades to black

I reach for the truth, but it's just too late

I was the shadow, he was the fate

A cycle unbroken, a life on repeat

Another me whispers, Go to sleep

I'm a lone man in space

An echo of a dream

Floating through eternity, oh

The stars don't know my name

I'm just a flicker in the flame

And someone else will take my place

In this endless void

One soul replaced, another deployed

A clone fades to dust... in the void.
