The Astronaut

Lyrics:

Hook

Radio silent, I’m lost in the void,
Floating in the black where the echoes destroyed.
Calling out to Earth but no signal designed,
I’m alive in the stars but not on your mind.
Astronaut heart in a galaxy blind,
Orbitin’ pain that I can’t realign.
I gave ‘em my shield but I’m lost in the climb,
I’m adrift in the dark, not a soul on the line.

Verse 1 (16 bars — loneliness & drift)

Room cold as the moon, phone dim like a dead sun,
Every call that I catch just a scam or a debt run.
I’m the last line of hope when they crumble in collapse,
But my inbox stay empty like a void with no maps.
Suit sealed up, tether cut, I’m a ghost in the silence,
Carry weight for the weak, still the void stay violent.
I’m a fortress in the fight, but the cosmos don’t care,
Every star look alive but the heat ain’t there.
Signals static, circuits tragic, I’m a man off-grid,
Tried to orbit in they system but the doors stay hid.
launchin’ out my lifeline, burn my oxygen in time,
But the silence in the black makes me question if I shine.
Why i gotta be the one so familiar with dark, like the contrast that exists with my heart is stark, so i embarace the space one star at a time wondering why i aint on anyones mind

Hook

Radio silent, I’m lost in the void,
Floating in the black where the echoes destroyed.
Calling out to Earth but no signal designed,
I’m alive in the stars but not on your mind.
Astronaut heart in a galaxy blind,
Orbitin’ pain that I can’t realign.
I gave ‘em my shield but I’m lost in the climb,
I’m adrift in the dark, not a soul on the line.

Verse 2 (16 bars — protector role vs being unseen)
I’m the shield in they battles, I’m the wall in they wars,
But when I’m driftin’ through the ether ain’t a knock on my doors.
Lonely satellite soul, broadcast deep in the black,
Yet the echoes that return never circle me back.
They forgettin’ my frequency, forgettin’ my name,
Like I’m lost in the nebula, erased from they frame.
Still I guard with the grit, lay my life in the fight,
But the orbit feel empty when you’re outta they sight.
Zero gravity faith, still I hold to the code,
Fratarus a Bellum (brothers of war) in my chest when I get cold.
Even galaxies collapse, but I stand as design,
Even astronauts fade when they ain’t on a mind.
Why i gotta be the one so familiar with dark, like the contrast that exists with my heart is stark, so i embrace the space one star at a time wondering why i aint on anyones mind

Hook

Radio silent, I’m lost in the void,
Floating in the black where the echoes destroyed.
Calling out to Earth but no signal designed,
I’m alive in the stars but not on your mind.
Astronaut heart in a galaxy blind,
Orbitin’ pain that I can’t realign.
I gave ‘em my shield but I’m lost in the climb,
I’m adrift in the dark, not a soul on the line.
