"The Astronaut" lyrics

"The Astronaut"

Down here
We struggle with perspective
We're staring into boxes while the universe is endless
Our reality we bent it
Playing with fire
Down here
Our fear is in tomorrow
Acting like we own it but the time is only borrowed
And we're stuck inside our sorrow
Wondering

If we have to
Send someone to space
To see the beauty of this place
What's that say about the state of our minds?
Have we finally gone insane?
I guess at best we've lost our way
Cause we forgot that we're all here at the same time
This whole world would be at peace
If we could see like an astronaut
But we cannot...

Down here
Humanity is broken
We're fighting with our neighbors but we haven't even spoken
If the dialogue was open
Could we rewind?
Down here
And treat each other better?
Find a way to let the only thunder come from weather
Maybe we could live forever
Happily

If we have to
Send someone to space
To see the beauty of this place
What's that say about the state of our minds?
Have we finally gone insane?
I guess at best we've lost our way
Cause we forgot that we're all here at the same time
This whole world would be at peace
If we could see like an astronaut
But we cannot...

And I've been watching Full House on repeat
To remind myself life can be sweet...
