Alienation Lyrics by ​ibrahim

2016

He first learned the word "star" in a nursery rhyme
A verse sung to Mozart, a theme he heard every night
And when they told him to shoot for the moon
He knew he would do it
Moving beside the planets
Dancing to the tune of their music

Readin DK space encyclopedias, recesses missed
Each weekday at six, space episodes on PBS kids
He'd watch the comets flyin'
Learned at twelve to spot Orion
Read Dawkins, Hawking, Tyson
And then moved on to rocket science

Soon traversed the universe
Flew unburdened, swooped and swerved
Left behind the rules of Earth and hung a right by Jupiter
Floatin' on past Oberon, every heavenly deity
Slowly drifting freely but alone towards the Pleiades

He saw the spirals of galaxies in his fingerprints
The patterns of Saturn's rings depicted on every single tip
And gazed into the past at a perforated black canvas
Full of tiny lanterns that may already have half vanished

He was a speck of dust in the celestial ether
Left the clutches of Mother Earth
Uncertain when next he'd see her
A part of the stardust
The hardest part was losing track
Of his human past and future
Consumed in the blue and black

And after so long as a cosmic message in a bottle
He wanted a shore to wash up on, a modern day Apollo
Post-Sagan space vagrant drained from aimless astral drift
His addled brain turnin' asteroids to asterisks

At a loss, thoughts turned to his life before blasting off
"I just want to go home" admitted the astronaut
And as his words reverberated cross light-minutes
They found a soul
"So come home"
Through the static came the sound of ground control

But when he turned around to face the void in the dark
He heard "ｓｏ ｃｏｍｅ ｈｏｍｅ"
Spoken from a voice in the stars
But when he turned around to face the void in the dark
He heard "ｓｏ ｃｏｍｅ ｈｏｍｅ"
Spoken from a voice in the stars
