I Can Never Go Home

The voyage begins well and with high hopes but Our Hero quickly finds himself disassociating from at first the crew and eventually himself

I look around this painted cell

and I come undone

I’m sure you’re the one

Ten thousand feet beneath the ground

there’s another sun

brighter than the ones in space

and rotating ‘round it’s face

Every second now

I’m more by myself

Now I can see through

We’re liquid in skin

Now I’m sure what this is

Well I’m better now

and it’s obvious

I can never go home

But I know

I know
