Sad Astronaut - Lagwagon

As you sat on the bed

Moments from your end

Inconceivable dread

Inches from your head

I can’t bear to imagine you

In that horror scene

One too sad to be

In my mind’s eye I am there

Embracing you so scared

Now you kill me too

You killed me too

Decidedly willing to lie for you

Absolutely willing to cry for you

Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you

A part of me will never know

I am there again, intervals of red

An accomplice to

Things I couldn’t do

In a fable disabled

I say words like foolish son

God what have you done

I’m a thin blue cliché, hopelessly

I’m a mouthful of doubtful

Decidedly willing to lie for you

Say again

Willing to cry for you

Finally saying goodbye to you

A part of you I’ll never know

Looking through the spyglass in a punctured sky

While your garden died

You couldn’t see the sky for your fallen stars?

Endless in your arms

You were still alive even as the sad astronaut
