DEAD ASTRONAUT

(album: BURNOUT - 2022)

'95 is when I landed
Yeah, the first thing I was handed
Was a list of all the standards
I think I'm from a different planet
Feds are coming to the rescue
They're gonna put me in a test tube
Bet you'll say that they'll protect you
Until they're using it against you

You couldn't take it and felt separated
And now you're reshaping the truth
Look what you created, this alienation
Just caused an invasion of you

I'm not like you and I'm not what you want
Might as well just be a dead astronaut
I'm not like you but I'm all that I got
Might as well just be a dead astronaut

I guess they couldn't take it
So they put me on a spaceship
Said it'd only be a day trip
They forgot how long a day is

You couldn't take it and felt separated
And now you're reshaping the truth
Look what you created, this alienation
Just caused an invasion of you
You couldn't escape it, don't try to erase it
You're feeling it inside of you
When you're on a spaceship, know everyone's favorite
Part would be all of the views

I'm not like you and I'm not what you want
Might as well just be a dead astronaut
I'm not like you but I'm all that I got
Might as well just be a dead astronaut

I guess they couldn't take it
So they put me on a spaceship
Said it'd only be a day trip, damn

I'm not like you and I'm not what you want
Might as well just be a dead astronaut
I'm not like you but I'm all that I got
Might as well just be a dead astronaut

I'm not like you but I'm all that I got
Might as well just be a dead astronaut
