Space Cadets
from Short Stories Vol. II by Suitcase Runaway
lyrics
Connected by a thread of consciousness,
All the thoughts, dreams, and fabricated myths,
Overreactions, and unresolved conflicts.
It starts with a phrase that unfolds to calamity.
Every thought intricate and plagued by insanity.
A violent sadness with overarching beauty.
Will there be war soon?
Should I try to leave?
The taste of apples makes me think of simpler things...
I swear my mind was sharper when I was sixteen.
You keep mouthing your sentiment,
And the repetition kills me.
But I escape through my bedroom window,
And into the quiet morning.
Never take the same way twice in where I go,
No one has to know.
If thoughts are mere electrical connections,
I’m just trying to find the signal flow.
I don’t mean to be unresponsive,
I’m just trying my best.
Our lives may be tiny blips in time,
But it doesn’t make me love them any less.
So many deadlines,
Will you ever be done?
Remember the way your skin feels when it burns in the sun...
Space cadet, you’re still taking it in all at once.
All the thoughts, dreams, and fabricated myths,
Overreactions, and unresolved conflicts.
It starts with a phrase that unfolds to calamity.
Every thought intricate and plagued by insanity.
A violent sadness with overarching beauty.
Will there be war soon?
Should I try to leave?
The taste of apples makes me think of simpler things...
I swear my mind was sharper when I was sixteen.
You keep mouthing your sentiment,
And the repetition kills me.
But I escape through my bedroom window,
And into the quiet morning.
Never take the same way twice in where I go,
No one has to know.
If thoughts are mere electrical connections,
I’m just trying to find the signal flow.
I don’t mean to be unresponsive,
I’m just trying my best.
Our lives may be tiny blips in time,
But it doesn’t make me love them any less.
So many deadlines,
Will you ever be done?
Remember the way your skin feels when it burns in the sun...
Space cadet, you’re still taking it in all at once.
