lyrics

You’re red
Was it something I said?
When I told you to stop filling mine
With the mess that you find
In your head

You preach
Who you trying to reach?
With all this talk of space
The look on my face says
I’m no one to teach

You think we can travel that far
But you’ve only brought poison in the tank of your car

If you go into the black
You ain’t ever coming back

Time
It’s a wonderful thing
If left to devise
It makes matter with eyes
And atoms that sing

You think there’s no story to tell
What if space is a desert and we live by the well?
Well?

You go into the black
You aint ever coming back
To a simpler time
Where people had reasons that kept them that way
But you say they don’t get what they gave
I wish we could blow out the candle and step out of the cave

But you’ve gone into the black
And you ain’t ever coming back
