lyrics

Cosmonauts

I cling to my shot of you 
Bleached are the colors 
All faded 
Gone the contours 
Grey as dusk  

Silent space holds our truth 
As we fuse with the stars 
So braided 
Two echos, alas 
Specs of dust

  I've tethered you to me
 A collage of bliss
 Sacred moments of us
 They tend the rift between us
  Whenever you draw near 
Portray this, my heart  
Chock-full of rust 
Begins to beat again  

Will we be split 
As we ascend
 Or will we maintain
 What no man could bend  

The fires are lit 
And I comprehend 
Their blinding rage
 It signals our end  

Over and onward
 We stay the course
 We conquer the skies
 All new sights to behold

  I blush then I wonder
 Have you no remorse 
When did these lies 
In our minds take hold

  I cling to my shot of you 
Bleached are the colors 
So faded
 Gone the contours 
Grey as dusk  

Silent space that holds no truth 
As we fuse with the stars 
So jaded 
Two echos at last

  I've tethered you to me 
A collage of bliss
 Sacred moments of us 
They mend the rift between us 
Whenever you draw near 
Portray this, my lungs  
Chock-full of rust
 Begin to breath again  

I've tethered you to me
 A collage of bliss
 Sacred moments of us
 They mend the rift
  Whenever you draw near
 Portray this, my mind  
Chock-full of rust
 Begins to forget the pain  

I cling to my shot of you
 Bleached are the colors 
All faded
Gone the contours
 Grey as dusk

Silent space holds our truth 
As we fuse with the stars
 So braided

  I've tethered you to me 
A collage of bliss 
They mend the rift between us
