lyrics

Solitary astronaut.
Standing tall and hot to trot.
You’d sell your soul.
With your hands bound and your tongue tied,
A river forms to drown your pride.
And down you go.
So, blindly follow your queen bee.
You’ll learn her honey teaches to you sting.
In your mind: a selfish hive
Where ignorance and carelessness reside.

Maybe the loneliness will make you whole.
Maybe the stratosphere will warm your bones.
Maybe the shadows will help lead you home.
Maybe the stratosphere will warm your bones.

Inhale once to feel insane
Puncture twice to maim the pain.
Become a ghost.
Cut your hair and ankles off;
Gag your mouth with tattered cloth:
Your one-man show.
Oases in deserts dry.
Science, reality not applied.
A conscious, willful deficit.
Slowly cooking - roasting on a spit.

Maybe the loneliness will make you whole.
Maybe the stratosphere will warm your bones.
Maybe the shadows will help lead you home.
Maybe the stratosphere will warm your bones.

Find a way home.
