about

Another song. Meh.

lyrics

Once
The stories always spun
Seemed like everything thrown at the sun
Was never coming down
Aloft in the ether, never to be seen again

But everything fades as the air grows thin
There's a crack where the doubt takes hold
Best of intentions for miles within
Can it be so impossibly cold?

Keeping the sky above the ground
Keeping the surface clean
Searching designs for every flaw
Somehow, escaping the atmosphere

This speed
Pressure of the gas
Where the force meets resistant mass
A universe conspired
Where the drag coefficient
Plots against these hopes, inspired

There's no escape, this velocity
Calling transcendence to bear
Climbing the branch of the sweet gum tree
Just to melt in a solar flare

Keeping the sky above the ground
Keeping the surface clean
Searching designs for every flaw
Somehow, escaping the atmosphere
