Lyrics
I was born with a sky in my eyes
Silver dust woven into lullabies
Paper wings taped to broken toys
A boy in orbit, deaf to the noise
I'd whisper secrets to the moon's cold face
Trace my future in the endless space
Swore my name would drift with the satellites
But the world below pulled tighter every night
They bound my stars in iron and stone
Sold me hours I'd never own
But buried deep in this weary frame
A silent cosmos calls my name
When the dark comes crawling in
I slip the cage I'm buried in
Weightless ghost in a velvet sea
I am the astronaut I swore I'd be
Morning steals what midnight gives
I trade my stars for a life that lives
In factory hums and unpaid rent
But each night's a spark that can't be spent
I taste the void on my tongue like wine
I see my rocket in every power line
This concrete earth will crack and fade
But my heart's still stitched to the Milky Way
Tear these roots from under me
I am stardust, I am debris
I am the dream they could not keep
I drift the cosmos while I sleep!
When the dark comes crawling in
I slip the cage I'm buried in
Weightless ghost in a velvet sea
I am the astronaut I swore I'd be
So if you find me staring blind
Past streetlights choking out the night
Know somewhere far my soul still flies
Past gravity, past bitter lies
One day I'll burn through atmosphere
A falling star they'll never hear
But in my dreams, I touch the sun
An orphan child among the stars I run
