lyrics

i think i hear her name in the vacuum of space feel my spine decompress feel my face lose shape my blood is on the rise my blood is on the rise

there’s a worm in my body feel it burrow away if it gets bigger will i stay the same or will two flames be one? or will two flames be one?

i see engines ignite as i watch the night sky the waves they radiate and swallow up fuel tanks if i’m still on solid ground why do i feel weightless? if these are phantom sounds can i hear anything?

i’m younger now than i remember being back before space camp when i was seeing jolene and the waves waged war on the beach and the waves waged war on the beach

her head against my chest she can hear my heartbeat i can feel her shallow breaths i’m not sure what they mean we just played our parts we just played our parts

i see engines ignite as i watch the night sky the waves they radiate and swallow up fuel tanks if i’m still on solid ground why do i feel weightless? if these are phantom sounds can i hear anything?

the smell is sickly sweet like rancid ice cream my heart skips a beat the smell is sickly sweet like rancid ice cream my heart skips a beat

i see engines ignite as i watch the night sky the waves they radiate and swallow up fuel tanks if i’m still on solid ground why do i feel weightless? if these are phantom sounds can i hear anything?
