Astronauts
(专辑: Winter & The Wolves - 2014)
[Verse 1: Grieves] We used to fly around the
world in a
cardboard box, now you're waiting for the
bus trying to fit in with the
flock, different socks, on one hand you've got a
wild imagination, and on the
other, is man against the
clock, it never stops, we used to look up at the
clouds and see shapes now the
only thing we see in 'em is rain, it's not the
same, 'cause after all the
giant dragons disappeared the
only battle left to fight was with your chains, cut 'em loose, I
liked it better when our dreams were real, we respected what it was to feel, nobody ever put a
limit on the
things that that made the
littlest of kings seem strong enough to cut through steel, grip the
wheel, it's a
windy little road you paved, it's a
shame you had to lose that light, 'cause if it wasn't for the
blanket fort walls and the
bumps in the
night you'd be nothing but a
string without a
kite [Chorus: Grieves] You're not the
astronaut you used to be, Ain't it shame that you couldn't keep the
starlight in your eyes? You're not the
hero that you used to be, Fading away until you're falling out the
sky [Verse 2: Grieves] We used to sail around the
world in a
porcelain tub, now we fill it to the
brim and try to wash away the
mud, it isn't us, in one world you got a
wide-eyed adventure in the
other, is a
person giving up, it never jumps, we used to play connect the
dots with the
stars, now we try to make a
connection in bars, it's getting hard, 'cause after every little planet's been exploded it's impossible to find out where you are, I
take it home, I
miss the
feeling of a
brand-new start, what it meant to be a
child at heart, no matter how it was explained it always felt like if I
wanted to I
could've built a
city in my own backyard, disembark, you don't have to be a
kid to believe or see potential in a
pile of leaves, if it wasn't for them deep sea dives or the
whisper from the
trees you'd be nothing but a
want without a
need [Chorus: Grieves] You're not the
astronaut you used to be, Ain't it shame that you couldn't keep the
starlight in your eyes? You're not the
hero that you used to be, Fading away until you're falling out the
sky [Verse 3: Slug] I
remember you were stuck in a
half-empty cup, you studied the
sun like it was meant to touch, got to clutch, it's not enough to escape like the
duck's cause they always come back to the
muck, struggle from a
brush with luck so we could judge your guts like, "you still on that such and such?" they can cut the
budget but the
puppet struts on two crutches over drums that rush like busted nuts, it's too much now, you want to strike like the
light without the
thunder wonder whatcha doing uptown, you delivering nothing but love, but cant seem to catch a
dream when fishing from up above, I
don't believe that there's a
bad bet, 'cause everybody's gonna breathe that last breath, but the
things you write, got wings for life, it's the
freedom flight, that's how we sleep at night [Chorus: Grieves] You're not the
astronaut you used to be, Ain't it shame that you couldn't keep the
starlight in your eyes? You're not the
hero that you used to be, Fading away until you're falling out the
sky
