the man who flew into space

Tempting your toes from the chair
Dragging your heels through the air
Counting your heartbeats now your breath turns cold
Haven't seen daylight in weeks
Wiping the dust from your cheeks
Note on the dresser says "I told you so"

But where does time go?
Laid to rest, you know what's next

Strangers knocking down the door, looks of terror
Jaded eyes fixed to the floor
Pray he's better off where he has gone
They say it's sad to throw a life away to find forever more

You fell through a crack in the sky
Saw death in the blink of an eye
Moments like this you wish you'd changed your mind
'Cause all that you have and you know
You gave as a gift to let go
People and pleasures that you left behind

But there's no right time
Lost in space, you leave no trace

Strangers knocking down the door, looks of terror
Jaded eyes fixed to the floor
Pray he's better off where he has gone
They say it's sad to throw a life away to find forever more

Stuck behind through the glass that you're looking through
Can't see a better end to the day
'Cause you don't even know who you're talking to
And lately you've got nothing to say
And maybe it's all that we're good for
Maybe we're a waste of time
If you can't fight it anymore
I'll see you on the other side

Strangers knocking down the door, looks of terror
Jaded eyes fixed to the floor
Pray he's better off where he has gone
They say it's sad to throw a life away to find forever more
