Everybody says the same thing when they’re radioing in “What are you doing out there, what do you expert to win? You gotta come back home now, drink our water, breathe our air Turn that rocket ship around before it you hit the solar flare Cuz you’re too close to the sun" But I can’t hear a word they say I’m two planets away They can’t even see my phase Never cared for their atmosphere I like it better here I like the shorter years They think that I’m lost in space But these are my pearly gates I’m two planets away And I know deep down that I’ll burn I know deep down that I’ll burn Yeah I’m gonna burn Cuz I’m too close the sun They don’t know the thrill of going where no man has gone before So they can’t comprehend the compulsion to explore They’re too far away to have ever really felt the heat So they perceive my scalded skin as weak They say I’m too close to the sun But I can’t hear a word they say I’m two planets away They can’t even see my phase Never cared for the atmosphere I like it better here I like the shorter years They think that I’m lost in space But these are my pearly gates I’m two planets away And I know deep down that I’ll burn I know deep down I'm gonna burn Yeah I’m gonna burn

Messenger 07:00

Don’t shoot the messenger We’ve flown 50 million miles Through oblivion’s soldiers To show you what it means to be alive Don’t shoot the messenger We’ve harmed ourselves enough Estranged our friends and lovers For a prize that sets us on fire The days they feel so long when you are all alone And it starts to break you down Yeah when you venture the unknown All that you can be certain of is that you’re collision-bound And yet still we’ve never reversed the ship Always forward through the asteroid turbulence Just to land on a rock that can’t support life It’s all we can do to feel alive Don’t shoot the messenger You’d all be lost without her She gave up everything So we could feel together The days they feel so long when you are all alone And reality begins to blur And yet still we’ve never reversed the ship Always forward through the asteroid turbulence Just to land on a rock that can’t support life It’s all we can do to feel alive So still we set course for the abyss Unphased by the constant turbulence We’ve been planning the next ever since we arrived It’s all we can do to feel alive In this lightlessness I know I’m gonna lose you And you’re gonna find someone else And even as I breach the edge of the sky I’ll think of you But if I stayed I know for sure I’d always be gazing up When we try to touch the sun it’s not because we don’t cherish our hands No, as our skin melts away we discover The beauty underneath And we deliver That message back to you So that you can get through all of your terrestrial monotony and pain Damn right we do it for ourselves Just like everybody else So don’t shoot us down Cuz that shot’ll come back around to you Don’t shoot The messenger You need her Like the planets need the sun

A Billion Years 06:10
lyrics
buy track
You’ve got oh so many scars Craters and lava trails They're the essence of who you are They tell your tale You come from a volatile time And from a violent place It is not your fault But you must confront it just the same Cuz there’s only energy to blame You’ve got a fiery, fierce and passionate core And you’re the smallest of all but you’ve got something more All cuz you’ve been through desolation, hell and war You survived, so victory’s yours And in the end all these bruises and wounds Not just what you live through but what you live for Your surface is almost as dark as your sky No colors in sight That’s not who you are That’s not what’s inside Your heart’s a perpetual flame That shifts your tectonic plates Still to this day You still go through constant change Cuz the comets can’t rupture your faith You’ve got a fiery, bold and powerful core And you’re a little small but you’ve got something more All cuz you’ve been through desolation, hell and war You’ve endured, so victory’s yours And in the end all these craters and scars Not just what you live through but what you live for I’ve survived through it all Every stone the universe has to throw For a billion years so far And I will for a billion more I’ve, I’ve made it this far With a billion years of scars to show But none can penetrate my core And so I’ll live for a billion more
