Final Transmission

There used to be a day when they said he wasn't like this

And if there was a way, then I guess he'll never find it

Pushing off the payload, no cable to rewind him

He's heading far away now, the Earth a small reminder

Bound for higher places, the universe is all in part

Falling into deeper spaces, they all begged with all their heart

Inside them he'll awaken the pain he felt right from the start

Sound before the bass hits, he's in the sky among the art

Silent protest, the planets all gaze down

Violent expressed, terror knows no bounds

Diamond excess, escape is what he found

Quiet distress turned to peace as he leaves the ground

Floating in the sky, it feels like a dream

Gloating as he flies, it's exactly what it seems

Goading with his eyes, it's exactly what it means

Going with a sigh, better than what he flees

Tapestry of nightlights above and below

Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow

Amnesty a slight, too late to forego

Vanity benight, all to do now is let go

Tapestry of nightlights above and below

Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow

Amnesty a slight, too late to forego

Vanity benight, all to do now is let go

He feels it in his stomach and in his bones

The weight is lifted now, he's never going home

Drifting in silence, he's all alone

Difference is that now, there's no need to atone

Spaceman, that's what they said he was

Head up in the clouds, he never put up a fuss

We were his friends, everyone had his trust

But when he left, we're like "What about us?"

Maybe he knew something that we didn't

Staring in the mirror with a different kind of vision

Looking down, maybe the world's as he envisioned

Auroras for tears, and oceans for the incisions

Eyelids getting heavy, sleep it off now kid

Everyone now knows exactly what you did

Go on, finish up the fuse that you lit

It doesn't matter now, cause we'll see you in a bit

Tapestry of nightlights above and below

Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow

Amnesty a slight, too late to forego

Vanity benight, all to do now is let go

Tapestry of nightlights above and below

Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow

Amnesty a slight, too late to forego

Vanity benight, all to do now is let go

Tapestry of nightlights above and below

Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow

Amnesty a slight, too late to forego

Vanity benight, all to do now is let go

Tapestry of nightlights above and below

Sanity coiled tight, the Earth he'll out grow

Amnesty a slight, too late to forego

Vanity benight, all to do now is let go
