[Verse 1]
Tempting your toes from the chair
Dragging your heels through the air
Counting your heartbeats, now your breath turns cold
Haven't seen daylight in weeks
Wiping the dust from your cheeks
Note on the dresser says, "I told you so"
[Pre-Chorus]
But where does time go?
Laid to rest, you know what's next
[Chorus]
Strangers knocking down the door, looks of terror
Jaded eyes fixed to the floor
Pray he's better off where he has gone
They say it's sad to throw a life away
To find forevermore
[Verse 2]
You fell through a crack in the sky
Saw death in the blink of an eye
Moments like this you wish you'd changed your mind
'Cause all that you have and you know
You gave as a gift to let go
People and pleasures that you left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's no right time
Lost in space, you leave no trace
[Chorus]
Strangers knocking down the door, looks of terror
Jaded eyes fixed to the floor
Pray he's better off where he has gone
They say it's sad to throw a life away
To find forevermore
[Bridge]
Stuck behind through the glass that you're looking through
Can't see a better end to the day
'Cause you don't even know who you're talking to
And lately, you've got nothing to say
Maybe it's all that we're good for
And maybe we're a waste of time
If you can't fight it anymore
I'll see you on the other side
[Chorus]
Strangers knocking down the door, looks of terror
Jaded eyes fixed to the floor
Pray he's better off where he has gone
They say it's sad to throw a life away
To find forevermore

I wrote “the man who flew into space” with my brother. It was one of the first instances of us collaborating. He possesses the sharpest of minds and helped me to unspool the doubt knots in my brain. In this case it was a negotiation with death in a way, the will to death set against a cosmic backdr...
