(The Earth)
Stuck in the same cloud
Making too small a shadow
Too high to hear the raindrops sound
Too low not to feel cold
The summer sun is singing songs of home
Now sun, don’t you go down
Where will I get my light now?
The colors that you leave are loud, but they’re starting to fade out
The summer sun is singing songs of home
But the sun goes down and darkness surrounds
Stars fill the air, there must be something more out there
The sun burns the sky as it tears the horizon
Will I remember the light as the darkness comes alive?
Summer sun, will you ever come back home?

(The Moon)
All these stars glaring in the sky
I need them to tell me their secrets that they hide
I’ll just fly up to the moon
Then I’ll have a better view
No more skies hindering my eyes
I cannot wait for an elevator to space
I’ll take a rocketship and leave this earth today
You tell me to wait
You say “Don’t make haste,” but I’m on my way
See, I’ve come too far not to go to space
It’s too late, hang on, strap in, pray I make it safe
The flaming atmosphere radiates with grace
I try to think but my skin is a thousand weights
I recollect my thoughts as the gravity leaves my face
The earth grows small below as I enter into space

This is not Enough

I take a small step and I glide
Gravity can’t hold me back this time
There’s so much here for me to find
It’s almost what I had in mind
I take a small step and I glide
But somehow it feels dead and dry
And there’s nowhere for me to hide
From this longing for more that still burns inside
There’s nothing to do on the moon (welcome to the moon)
This star in my vision currently must be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen
I’ll get back in my ship and I’ll head for that light
Just a better view as it burns so bright
O glorious light
In my rocketship I’ll sail toward bliss
I’ll find it this time
Can’t just stop with the moon

(The star)
The joy that I feel as your rays shine through my window
How I long for you more as I draw ever closer
O star in the sky my rocketship will bring me nigh
And I shall see you in your fullness
You’re my answer I can feel it through and through
O star, I will see you soon
Quickly my rocketship will bring me to you
But a small voice says to just go back home
My view obstructed
I can’t see you
My ship it warns emergency, I’ll put on my pressure suit
I may need to evacuate soon
The asteroids are breaking through
My ship may be exploding soon
I’ll put on my pressure suit
I may need to evacuate soon
O star, I will see you soon
Slowly but surely I will float to you
But I wish that I could just go back home
(“You can’t give up now”) … no
My spaceship is breaking, now I must be escaping
I will jump in my suit and eventually I’ll make it to you
Star in the sky, I will not lie
I am afraid to die
I’ll jump in my suit and eventually I’ll make it to you

Person-shaped Balloon
02:55
|

|
I’m floating through an absence of air
And my soul longs for atmosphere
I’ve grown weary of my person-shaped balloon
But I cannot take my helmet off here
There’s no pressure in space
No air for my face
Come set me somewhere I can breathe
Need ground for my feet
I need this suit off of me
And I breathe
Is my oxygen tank a part of me?
Only through my helmet lens do I see
Does it distort my reality?
There’s no pressure in space
No air for my face
Come set me down somewhere I can breathe
Need ground for my feet
I need this suit off of me
My oxygen is slowly running out
And I can’t get myself down
There’s no pressure in space
No air for my face
Can’t see the sun, no air for my lungs
Come set me down
I can’t breathe
I need this suit off of me

Burning

The star burning stronger
Exponentially larger
My eyes saturate with the flames of its rays
Pulled into its orbit, its heat is growing stronger now
My soul is awake to the truth of my fate
Take it away I’m burning out
Take it away I’m burning down
All I can hope for is grace from these flames
To dissolve all my pain as my skin burns away
But deeply I fear that once I draw near
There will be no escape from the pain
Take it away I’m burning out
Take it away I’m burning down
O what have I done?
I have sent myself spiraling down toward the sun
O what have I done?
One last breath before I slip into the sun
A small voice grows inside

A Small Voice

|
(The Hero)
A small voice
A small voice grows inside
I can’t ignore it this time
Come with me and we will fly
Come with me and we will never die
Come with me and we’ll dance in the sky
Come with me and we will fly away
