Thoughts Of A Dying Astronaut Lyrics

I'm choking on the atmosphere

All alone, all alone out here

Stellar oceans of tragedy

A bleak wave that is meant for me

Infinite and Powerless

The galaxy about me spread

A sombre blanket for the dead

I wrap the stars around me

Let not the young be smothered out

Before they do quaint deeds and fully find their pride

It's the worlds one crime, the lie, the false divine

Cold, limp and bleak forever leaden-eyed

Let not the years speak ill of them

They're just points of light in the firmament

One day they blink out forever gone

Lost in hope that their memory will carry on

Oh, Did I rage so needlessly

Did I starve so dreamlessly

Did I sow but seldom reap

Did I live or die like sheep

One breath consumed in distress

As I look with hope to good providence

Regrets remain and coalesce

Of a life that I cannot now redress

How sweet the rain to a thirsty mouth

How vile the thoughts that I spit out

All of my duration laid bare

In the delicate finality of death now I'm ensnared

Hey now

Don't want you to fear

Anymore

Hey now

Don't want you to fear

Anymore

Once was the years to come

Just a dream of the fortunate son

Once was thy will be done

Just a game of life with a zero sum

The minutes are wasting away

Ah

Alone, my mind is a haze

All that I should have done

Ah

All I could have become

Now lost to me

I painted over the world with lies

To keep the fear at bay, just to stay alive

I should have worn my skin and not the disguise

But Karma will always pay you in kind

I used to speak the words that you wanted to hear

With empty heart and forked tongue

I never sang the melody of all I have loved

This is the final refrain my song has been sung

I'm choking on the Oxygen

The time has come

For me

Infinite and Powerless

The stars wont weep

For me
