The Astronaut
It’s dark in this shell as I circle the earth for another year
Hair has grown out down past my brow and into these eyes
You would love this view but alone its bittersweet
Floating up here always tired but never sleep
I wait for the hour where I can see the coast of California
The closest I will get to you
And those warm nights in your summer dress it’s the little things that I miss
All the years I spent away from you
Grey he hit the alarm and before you could blink everyone was gone
And the lone star just assumed that everyone died the mission was through
This damn suite is suppose to keep me alive
But it’s stolen my soul and will to survive
I wait for the day where I go to sleep and never wake
Oh God take me home with you
My windows getting foggier and my fingernails start to curl
And I can’t get the hair out of my eyes
I’m a satellite a piece of debris in your starry sky
I pray for gravity dropping me on to our doorstep and in reach
Oh the sun has become my biggest enemy
Keeping you living and making me see
I am so close to God, but so far away and
And I bet you have all forgotten me
I wait for the hour where I can see the coast of California
The closest I will get to you
I’ll fly away oh lord
I’ll fly away
Soon I will be at your side I’ll fly away
