There used to be a day when they said he wasn't like this
And if there was a way, then I guess he'll never find it
Pushing off the payload, no cable to rewind him
He's headed far away now, the Earth a small reminder
Bound for higher places, the universe is all in part
Fallin' into deeper spaces
they all begged with all their heart
Inside them he'll awaken the pain he felt right from the start
Sound before the bass hits, he's in the sky among the art
Silent protest, the planets all gaze down
Violent expressed, terror knows no bounds
Diamond excess, escape is what hefound
Quiet distress turned to peace as he leaves the ground
Floating in the sky, it feels like a dream
Gloating as he flies, it's exactly what it seems
Goading with his eyes, it's exactly what it means
Going with a sigh, better than what he flees
Tapestry of nightlights above and below
Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow
Amnesty a slight, too late to forego
Vanity benight, all to do now is let go
Tapestry of nightlights above and below
Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow
Amnesty a slight, too late to forego
Vanity benight, all to do now is let go
He feels it in his stomach and his bones
The weight is lifted now, he's never going home
Drifting in silence now he's all alone
Difference is that now, there's no need to atone
Spaceman
that's what they said he was
Head up in the clouds, he never put up a fuss
We were his friends, everyone had his trust
But when he left, we're left like "What about us?"
Maybe he knew somethin' that we didn't
Staring in the mirror with a different kind of vision
Lookin' down, maybe the world's just as he invisioned
Auroras for tears , and oceans for the incisions
Eyelids getting heavy, sleep it off now kid
Everyone now knows exactly what you did
Go on
finish up the fuse that you lit
It doesn't matter now, cause we'll see you in a bit
Tapestry of nightlights above and below
Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow
Amnesty a slight, too late to forego
Vanity benight, all to do now is let go
Tapestry of nightlights above and below
Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow
Amnesty a slight, too late to forego
Vanity benight, all to do now is let go
Tapestry of nightlights above and below
Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow
Amnesty a slight, too late to forego
Vanity benight, all to do now is let go
Tapestry of nightlights above and below
Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow
Amnesty a slight, too late to forego
Vanity benight, all to do now is let go
