Lyrics
Escaping into space where i descended from
Despite the sound this is not a happy ending song
Melancholy, drift among the planets like a symphony
I made this one as self help, damn it to your sympathy
Alone in a home with too many knives
And the windows too high and they open too wide
Nosedive — but changing my trajectory
Sitting at a chess board stressed that Death has bested me
Headphones On GP, turntable Vespertine
You spent your life gesturing I spent mine jestering
The loudest in the room lies the deepest in the tomb
The loudest in the room has the darkest inner tune
The one who shows the most teeth smiling is a gross freak
The one who shows the most teeth dying is the most free
The more you share your laughter, more you know what happens after life
Sometimes I have to laugh to keep from staring at my jagged knife
But not today…
Still I'm the one that laughs Hatter-like
Shining like a satellite
Not man made nor moon something maybe half as bright
Reaping what I sew on harvest night
Today I’m only laughing cuz I made it over
Suicidal dream, but the morning was a semicolon
Maybe it’s a cliché like Hellfire and Demogorgons
Fall asleep on transport, awakened by the engines roaring
I don’t need an atmosphere to hold me down
Anything that’s clinging on, long gone and frozen now
It’s just me and my skeleton embellish it with roses now
Grateful for the Dead the only thing to stop me slowing down
Ox-o-mox-o-a dancing with my hat and cane
Lost the locks and dropped my hanging tattered chains
Nothing anchors me to Earth
Buried plan to redisperse
Planets, moons and galaxies into my pockets gracefully
I can't escape to space but maybe I can bring the space to me
But not today…
