There used to be a day when they said he wasn't like this And if there was a way, then I guess he'll never find it Pushing off the payload, no cable to rewind him He's headed far away now, the Earth a small reminder Bound for higher places, the universe is all in part Fallin' into deeper spaces, they all begged with all their heart Inside them he'll awaken the pain he felt right from the start Sound before the bass hits, he's in the sky among the art Silent protest, the planets all gaze down Violent expressed, terror knows no bounds Diamond excess, escape is what hefound Quiet distress turned to peace as he leaves the ground
Floating in the sky, it feels like a dream Gloating as he flies, it's exactly what it seems Goading with his eyes, it's exactly what it means Going with a sigh, better than what he flees Tapestry of nightlights above and below Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow Amnesty a slight, too late to forego Vanity benight, all to do now is let go He feels it in his stomach and his bones The weight is lifted now, he's never going home Drifting in silence now he's all alone Difference is that now, there's no need to atone Spaceman, that's what they said he was Head up in the clouds, never put up a fuss We were his friends, everyone had his trust But when he left, we're left like "What about us?"
Maybe he knew somethin' that we didn't Staring in the mirror with a different vision Lookin' down, maybe the world's as he invisioned Auroras for tears , and oceans for the incisions Eyelids getting heavy, sleep it off now kid Everyone now knows exactly what you did Go on, finish up the fuse that you lit It doesn't matter now, cause we'll see you in a bit
Tapestry of nightlights above and below Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow Amnesty a slight, too late to forego Vanity benight, all to do now is let go
