farewell, spaceman (pt. 1) - ams lyrics

[verse 1: ams]

in the beginning, sacred 9 circle in heavenly reverence/
civilized apes with motor sk!lls, adjusting to their elements/
billion years of evolution, this planet isn’t enough/
innovation as side-effect of war, horse power to rocket thrust/
theory and blackboards erased, conquer fears and expand/
treaties and tardy planning, water science down for understanding/
we ogled god’s canvas, with our hourgl-ss sifting/
and spent arrogant years to find the conquest we were missing/
in a flurry of math and training, i was born/
of the hype of integrals and satellites, blueprints praised and scorned/
a m-ss of imaginary numbers, phd degrees and blunders/
if’s, maybe’s, and i wonder’s, all of which gravity enc-mbered/
graduated top of cl-ss, with goals of escape velocity/
scr-p social life for climbing ranks, to sate my curiosity/
i wear my standards proud, press statements in check/
sponsored by politicians and policy, patriotism and flight tests/
barely the person my parents remember from home/
heavy accolades overshadow the back-in-the-day, as the now stands alone/
mission named in optimism by a process i’m not involved in/
expecting my trust with test crafts that i test all too often/
blast clear to stratosphere with the press people gawking/
smooth landing under stress, then autograph hawking/
every meter worth of data matters, personal meaning shattered/
heed the logic and reason in g-force breezes, can’t breathe easy after/
trying to inject focus in a roundtable of blurred vision/
the subterfuge of ballistics, and roadblocks that deserve hittin’/
strike anywhere but the gentle topics present/
know your place and stay there, never knowing what you’re representing/
the fateful day arrives, covert nationalism/
sp-ce-age bureaucracy broadcast for millions who believe it’s pacifism/
and there i sat, securely strapped, reflections far from crystal clear/
as science took my breath away, pushing me beyond the stratosphere/
(i’m gone)//
