Entry
P.E. Lyrics

I'm a young man, who's head is the clouds
I'm a naive person who's got his head in the clouds

Feet upon a spaceship, eyes upon a sunset
Despite being on a spaceship, I still appreciate the beauty of space and its sunsets

It's the same thing every morning, wake up living my dream
Every day I wake up, I am living my dream of traveling through space

Well isn't that exciting? No not really
Although it's my dream and passion, it's not as exciting as I expected

I've been to Jupiter, I've been to mars
I've had the privilege of visiting Jupiter and Mars

I've seen Saturn, I've named some stars
I've also seen and named some stars, enjoying the wonders of the universe

One thing I hate, it's that I wanted this
Despite the wonders of the universe, I realize that I hate that I wanted to become an astronaut

But now I don't love it, but now I have to do it
Now I don't love being an astronaut, but I am still obliged to do it

Hands upon a steering wheel, eyes upon the airlock seal
I'm always piloting the spacecraft and constantly checking the airlock seal

Two steps from the frontier, 10 light years away from everything else
I'm constantly far from anything else and the frontier of the universe is always two steps away

If I knew the heavens would be this lonely, I'd never have become an angel
Had I known that space would be so lonely, I would have never become an astronaut

If I knew space was life draining, I'd never have left what I'd known
If I knew beforehand that space travel was this draining, I would have never left my previous lifestyle

But here I am, here I am now
Despite my regrets, I am still here in space

Here I am, and here I don't want to be
But the truth is, I no longer want to be here in space

There goes another bag of freeze dried food
Another bag of freeze-dried food is being used up, which puts me in a bad mood

Man that really puts me in the mood, for anything, literally anything
The fact that all I can eat is freeze-dried food, makes me long for anything else

I loved to think about what it would be like
I used to enjoy thinking about what it would be like to hitchhike from planet to planet

If I grew up where we could hitchhike
If I grew up in a place where such adventures were possible

From planet to planet from earth to earth
Traveling from planet to planet, and even from Earth itself

The galaxy is ours with worlds of worth
The galaxy is full of worlds worth exploring and discovering

Now that's real, now it's very real
This imagined adventure is now a reality, which makes it feel more serious and less exciting

And I hate it, Why did I want it?
I now realize that I hate this life and I question why I ever wanted to become an astronaut

Here I don't want to be
My desire to leave space has only grown stronger

Here I am, and here I don't want to be
But for now, I am still here, even though I don't want to be in space
