lyrics

Retronaut

would you try to stop me
if you think you can?
finding my way backwards before the fall began

running from your history
lessons never learned
blindfolded in mystery when mistakes are returned

Retronaut alive
Retronaut in time

ethical disasters wash up on the shore
posing for a death mask
all we do is more

faces never changing
nor whats in the mind
action not intention; a thread that we entwine

Retronaut alive
Retronaut in time

shadow my memories

Retronaut is traveling
marching through the door
you can’t un-ring a bell
or un-declare a war

a page cannot be found
the link is obsolete
climb upon a paper moon
it fell into the street

Retronaut alive
Retronaut in time

curtain of a photo booth
closing in the time
colors change to black and white
words are made to rhyme

written in the rune stones
shall we disappear?
banished into exile
falling out down through the years

Retronaut alive
