Astronaut
(专辑: At Your Inconvenience - 2011)
She was on her way home, he was lying in wait, Insistance from others had never led her astray, She ended her day, Was persuaded by summer air to walk instead of getting the
train, The
decision so innocent as innocent as she, Uncorrupted so innocent and sweet An innocence interrupted by an incident A
dissonance, two people so different in beliefs She came from the
depths and ascend, bumped into he who demented, Intent on inflicting the
same pain that been lent him A
decision made by he for she had never consented. And unprovoked the
most venomous attack, He took from her that which she can't get back, And left her with that that she can't get rid of Which is why whenever it's time for lift off she, She builds a
rocket out of stars in her spoon, Straps up, the
only way to make it to the
moon, Dear god, I
hope you haven't forgot This young brave astronaut. A
habit she never wanted, A
pain she needed numbing, And she'd rather feel nothing than the
pain An evening she can't forget, Memories she can't stomach Not for nothing but the
needle in her vein, Friends she ignored till the
phone stopped ringing, Till the
door stopped knocking, Her door she only opens to let him in, But she has no money so she lets him come You can take that either away A
window she rarely opens so she can see the
day, Her stove she only uses to heat her spoon, For her the
only way she can reach the
moon. She builds a
rocket out of stars in her spoon, Straps up, the
only way to make it to the
moon, Dear god, I
hope you haven't forgot This young brave astronaut. Looking up, looking up, looking up for the
young brave astronaut Give it up, give it up, give it up for the
young brave astronaut I
know that you're busy, but any time you got, God please make a
visit, To the
young, to the
young, to the
young, To the
young brave astronaut She opens the
window for a
glimpse out Heats a
spoon over the
stove, Feels a
familiar sting and then slips out With a
window that isn't quite closed, With her window open, her stove still lit, Along with the
rain came a
gust of wind, Which blew the
fire out, Gas still running and her still breathing the
gas in. She builds a
rocket out of stars in her spoon, Straps up, the
only way to make it to the
moon, Dear god, I
hope you haven't forgot This young brave astronaut.
