i feel like i'm stuck in outer space
and i don't know how i got here
maybe my ship was attacked by aliens
but it doesn't matter how i got here
i just am here
floating helplessly among the stars
at first i was terrified
but fear can't last
i've accepted the fact that i'm not
going to make it home
(please tell them i loved them
and that it was all worth it,
who wouldn't want to be an astronaut?)
i feel so empty
and so cold
eventually i'll run out of air
and then i'll really be empty
just a floating spacesuit
with a dead body inside
at least i can say i went farther than you
i got to live my dream
i got to see the stars up close
i got to walk the moon
but now i'm lost in all this blackness
no hope that i'll ever escape
and i feel so
