ad astra (bonus track) Lyrics

Quiet of the morning

I can just imagine that

The world's a little quieter

Than I see on the news

Black of the before, and

The aching, heavy crescent moon

Silence of my mother's womb

Feels so gold to be this blue

Stars that I see out there

Long journey ahead

Elevator's out of order

Take the stairs instead

You're everything I wanted

Brittle, triple candlelight

Little sips of flannel chai

Rosy glow of knowing who you are

Another me is dawning

If only for today, I don't think I'll float away

Like I always do

Forever toward the stars

Stars I know are out there

Long journey ahead

Gonna try, but I don't think I'll reach before I'm dead

Gonna try, forgive me if I drown in my own dread

Have to try, because I remember what you said

Have to try, can't fear the knife

If I've already bled
