A story about 2 astronauts who had a dream to go to space, and things quickly take a turn when they realize just how long they've been gone.

Vessel 224

I stare up above
The sky is turning to ash
Entering the atmosphere
At the speed of sound
Stars light up my eyes
I guess i wont sleep tonight

Finally here

APOLLO

Gravity
So long

So long

Grab me
Hold on
Hold on

Roman candles
Substantial
Gravitational
Salvational

No limits
On this ship we're in
She looks heaven sent

Gravity goes on top of my knees
I feel weak
But also free

I see a black hole
In my own eye lids
I dont wanna go back home
Thats where my life is
so the engine starts up
Lets go on a mission
Find another planet
Or thats what it said
But i dont see shit
I just see her in heaven

Gravity makes me feel free
Gravity
Im heaven sent
So free
Shes heaven sent

(You start to hear the horror of sounds from outerspace all around you)

Gravity
(GASP FOR AIR)
Look at me
I feel free

Gravity

Wish upon a shooting star
That i dont fuckin fall apart
Im way too busy counting scars
That i earned from my last space walk
I hope i can avoid the rocks
Or asteroids as they may call
Or what else is out there

Im running out blank space
All the stars in the world just light up my face
I told the co pilot itd be safe
Now im crying in the back seat of the ship

Wishing she could see me ascend
I wish i wish i wish i wish
That i wasnt so full of shit
When i told him that we'd make it
I didnt expect it to be like this

Now we've hit a load of bricks
Malfunction yet again
I guess we'll be late to the planet

The mission states its habitable
But i dont think we'll make it past the asteroid belt
Our absolute magnitude is zero

Wish upon a shooting star while i get fuckin torn apart
I wish that we could meet on mars
But idk how long ive got
Considering im trapped in andromeda
I hope that ill become a constellation

(HKFiftyOne)

Cant believe my eyes today
Floating forward, i can't convey
The stars im seeing in my face
Cause back on Earth they're far away

I been waiting my whole life
To finally be here, feel alive
Said feel like im in hyperdrive
Cant wait no more til we arrive

Said ill finally show them all
Wont fail this time, ill prove them wrong
Im chasing dreams, they said id fall
I never heard them, not at all

The lights start flicker, i dont know why
Somethings off, guess its fine
Om too high, cant see the signs
The view outside, cant move my eyes

pulsar (interlude)

Ive seen too much
Of a dark past
Malfunctioning with no grasp
No will to live without going mad
Houston we have an issue im boutta jump ship with no mask
Sinking slowly in my mind
Pay the price of a damned life
Lost everything now im the ice
Freezing in orbit its my time
Orion is the last thing i see with my eyes

Life support systems critical

The star patterns
Take my worth
Give my all
And i fall
Now hes solo

You dont know whats like
To lose your family in one night
On our way to a new place
But i dont wanna navigate
A planet without her and him and her
Orion keeps me in orbit
But i dont wanna be here

Her voice says to me
Shes right here
The ship steers but i am not in gear

(The ship starts to venture off)

I just hope she knows the will i gave for her

(You start to hear the perspective shifting)

Deep in space
I meditate
Stardust
No lungs
No one

ORION

Stardust
Deep in space
No lungs
Might die out here
Intercom
Blares in my ears
I'm sorry
To the ones I left
On earth

Only one
Of us is left
Cold at night
Stage fright
The ship is off course
Surrounded by the stardust
Deep in space I meditate
Until my fate comes to say
The abyss might take me
I gotta make one last log

I have to be realistic

Tts a two man ship
But he froze in orbit
Miss my family
I never even said goodbye

Have you ever seen
A man freeze and burn
And suffocate
All the same
They told me it'd be a dream come true
I overdose on the thought you
As my ship crumbles
With my last breath being for you

stardust

I think i might need a savior
Trapped on the moon in a dark crater
I just hope i get to see her
Can i please i ask my creator
No answer back i guess ill be here (i guess ill die here)

Waiting for my untimely death
Remember every word she ever said
Can she see me on this crescent
I know i know its so depressing
Watching from inside the starship
I'm just an astronaut you wont miss
Crying out in this dark abyss
Only one left as i watch my descent into madness

They wont find me
My body in the black sea
Of stars in my eyes

I'm trapped on the ship
He froze to bits
Trying to hold on
But i wont last long
Its been months
Maybe years
Since i've left earth
I fucking miss her

Crater
Create her
My creator
Is not my savior

I'm missing
Forgotten
I'm locked in
This damn coffin

And my eyes cave
For the 4th time this week
I have been crying
I guess that makes me weak
So ill go psycho
And you laugh when i start to weep
But i don't mind tho
As long as you're with me

(He's running out of time to tell his story)

I'm running out of time
I'm running out breath
I'm running out of o2
And i cant see you
Trapped in a grave
That's floating in space
And i know its my dream
And i know i wont leave
But ill be content
With the fact that is
I'm losing my life
In this paradise

(GASP FOR AIR)

No navigation
No long prayers
No duo
No motivation to continue this mission
If all i'm gonna see is my family's death
I tried and tried to achieve my goal
I didn't expect it to be my tomb
Now its taking its toll unnoticed

craters (feat. sendflowrs)

Right here
I stay until shes near
I fear
That i will tear
When the sky
Becomes so clear

(Hes starting to see the beautiful afterlife with her by his side)

And i see her in the mirror
I wait
For my grave
I hope it doesnt come too late
I need a second to pray

(She sees a ship through her telescope slowly crumbling, each time she blinks, 5 years pass.)

Dichotomy
Im bleeding binary
While im stripped of gravity
She can see it from across the milky way
Im in her mind
I think im starting to see the after life
Ill be okay

(He is content with dying as long as he gets his happy ever after, just not the way he intended.)

Outer space
I dont want this feeling to go away
Is this how its supposed to be
Never apart im taking it to the grave
But now im in the candle lights
And ive so many galaxies in my eyes

Outer space
I orbit around
I dont wanna go home

(The cold and dark emptiness of space)

planetary dichotomy

(The lone astronaut is accepting his fate, flying to the sun slowly, no one will ever know)

(An emotional, but welcome end.)

I've been lost for so long
Where did I go wrong
Game of ping pong
Back and forth and from

So ill fly away
Up to the sun
Another day
For no one
Ill shine bright
And ill get far
And i will be our only star

(The space agency is covering it up)

See me
Hear me
Feel me

Cause im in the sky tonight

The stars are burning so bright
I just wanna go home tonight

Take the joy outta space
And im gonna cry
The heroic death aint mine
As i sit in the ship
I debate whether i shoulda lend a hand
To the poor soul that i call my space friend
Dying alone is a heavy toll
Not gonna lie im alright
Dying in paradise many people dream of
But i guess my dream ran outta luck
Feel her touch as a wind gust
Now i sit and hide as i turn to cosmic dust

Da da da da (he hums)

(He flies in circles trying to prepare to fly into the sun)

Running in circles
Drowning circles
Flying in circles
Fly-y-y-y-ing
Oooh wonder where Ill go

Where did we go wrong

Running in circles
Drowning in circles
Trapped in the stardust
Grabbing for no one
Trapped below burning sol
Now i have no touch
And the vessel is done

(The ship slowly explodes from the inside out)

(The view pans further and further from the exploding vessel)
