Reflector Lyrics by Alex the Astronaut

Notes from an Astronaut

2017

[Spoken Intro]
What'd you want to talk about?
[Verse 1]
Got holy water on your face
Crucible in the world’s embrace
'Cause everyone found the ocean
Deeper than you thought it was
Bitter scares on the front page
Names are shaming in useless rage
What can I do but check the score
Before I'm out the front door?
[Spoken Interlude]
I was always able to make my own decisions
I was quite strong in that
That's one thing I was quite positive about
To make my own decisions in what I wanted to do
[Chorus]
And I thought I'd know more by now
When does it slow down?
And I thought I'd have done more by now
When does it work out?
[Verse 2]
I said some words that didn't grow
So they forgot me some time ago
Now I'll just keep running around
'Til I've found what I need to know
As I'm growing, I seem to know less
Well, there's more I know that I don't know yet
But if I were to guess, most would confess
They're just running around in the same old mess, but
[Chorus]
And I thought I'd know more by now
When does it work out?
And I thought I'd have done more by now
When does it slow down?
[Verse 3]
Take a breath, it's gone too fast
Look at all these people pass
Sunburnt faces on the big screen of the pretty past
Was it all the words they said?
I play them slow to ease my head
Got a million moments and I play them from my little bed
[Chorus]
And I thought I'd know more by now
When does it slow down?
And I thought I'd have done more by now
When does it work out?
And I thought I'd know more by now
[Spoken Outro]
Yeah, but it's racing along recording me now
So how do I stop that?
