Astronaut
I’m an astronaut in my own headspace
And down on earth, I show another face
I feel estranged and out of place
So will I change or will I be replaced
The smiles and the frowns, they are all fake
Stories that you tell I won’t remember anyway
Give me some rest and give me a break
To figure out the things that are too much to take
I can’t seem to find a way out of my head
I still think about things everyone would forget
Will I have to get used to the fact
That for each good day one is bad
I‘m stuck in a carousel of contemplation
A train of thought with no destination
I’ll dig all the way to the core of my heart
To find an answer, to find salvation
Finding comfort in sensory overload
Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
I’m finding comfort in sensory overload
Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
When every little word stings like a pin
And every mistake is seen as sin
Then it‘s easier to feel nothing at all
Instead of having to feel everything
I lost my heroine but still I’m chasing the high
I was never really good at knowing when to say goodbye
Now that I know how to feel it can’t be unlearned
I need a fresh start, all bridges must burn
Finding comfort in sensory overload
Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
I’m finding comfort in sensory overload
Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
I‘m an astronaut in my own headspace
(Down on earth, I show another face)
I‘m an astronaut in my own headspace
(Down on earth, I show another face)
I‘m an astronaut in my own headspace
I‘m an astronaut in my own headspace
Finding comfort in sensory overload
Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
I’m finding comfort in sensory overload
Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
I’m finding comfort in sensory overload
Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
I’m an astronaut in my own headspace
And down on earth, I show another face
I feel estranged and out of place
So I head to a place where I feel safe
