about

A song about not giving up.

lyrics

My advice to you, dear boy
Under the radar is where you'll find shade
Doesn't twist drive, doesn't hide away love
Out of sight work means you stifle the aide

Quiets the noise from the people who claim
Anything more than a genuine care
People who act like you owe them defense
For the life chosen that isn't like theirs

Music is color, it's black and it's green
Painting emotion like apples and pairs
Memorize monologues, sonnets and scenes
Sketching you villain, comic still bare

Hold it like treasure in company poor
Anyone judging and tilting their head
Nothing but money can make you a whore
Eyes white and wide as you lie in your bed

Just because you've seen the stars
Doesn't qualify you as a spaceman, a spaceman
Ohhh

Roads will diverge from the start of your days
You can have more than the world thinks you should
Churning out shit is a way to get lost
You can be found when you're better than good

You can invent, you can dream and then fire!
Blow them away with the color you see
Show them it's not all about your attire
Salary line or a stack of degrees

You can be neon cutting down gray
You are a hero climbing up hill
This is a life that requires blind sight
Not for the glamour, not for the thrill

This is your heart and it's written in stone
Passionate love like a husband and wife
Art is a tonic, medicine, cure
Art is a hero saving your life

Just because you've seen the stars
Doesn't qualify you as a spaceman, a spaceman
Ohhh

Just because you hit the bars
Doesn't mean you have to get shitfaced man
Disgrace man
Replacement...

Is waiting in the wings and he's thinking dirty things
Like a plot to kill the king
Just go ahead lie in your bed a ghost to everything
And you sing...

Stick around boy, you're a marathon man
It's only you who can show you the door
Everyday you do the best that you can
make it impossible to be ignored

Even if shadow is all that you are
Even if dust is the legacy left
Soul will be free and peace will be yours
Fear will be dead, demons bereft

Just because you've seen the stars
Doesn't qualify you as a spaceman, a spaceman
Ohhh

Just because you've seen the stars
Doesn't qualify you as a spaceman, a spaceman
