Wayword - Greta
Turning left, turning right, stirring all nightMomma says everything will be alright
I don't know, all I know are
twinkle-twinkle-little-stars burning so bright,
Day and night
I just want a friend, someone to talk to
I just want a school, or some place I can walk to
I just wish a voice on the intercom
Would tell us that we would land soon
I Wish every meal wasn't canned food
Wonder what that's like
You know, boarding a plane
Getting off in a day and not being born in the plane
Drifting from day one to day none left in nothingness,
I would gladly switch places with you
If it's all just the same
If it's all just the same
Let's trade our shoes even
If it is for just a day
I wanna sink my toes in dirt
Is it all just the same to you
'Cuz to me, here in this void
It's all just the same
It's all just the same
It's all just the same black
Outside of this space craft
Only clocks that can tell you a day's passed
Everyday's just the same old pacing back and forth in these labs
Not till you've been in space have you witnessed a wasteland
A wasteland - isn't that what they're calling the earth?
But when you spend all of your days drifting in radioactive vaccuum
It kind of sets a whole new bar for the word
I just wanna walk in the dirt
And feel the wet warmth on my feet
Sing a song with the birds, and listen to frogs in the creek
I long for an alternate world where all of these are real things
I can see and touch with my fingertips
And taste and kiss with my lips, and not just some words
Was it worth it? Was it worth the cost?
If you could would you take it back?
If you knew me, and knew I'd take the fall
Do you think you would pay me back?
Would you pay me the whole of my childhood you stole?
The future you sold to the highest bidder for a pile of gold
And I so hate the fact that I have to pay for your crimes but you don't
That I gotta be the one to reap all the sorrow you sowed
But what do I know, maybe I should just pay it forward like you did
But the truth is, I could never stoop to the level you did
Blinded by hubris, the indomitable human will, right?
We'd always rise to the challenge when pushed to the brink right?
Well, sit tight, 'cuz mom and dad think that we still might
That there is still some vestige of hope left in this uphill climb
That's what they're taught to think
And tried to teach me but failed, but they still try
Cuz That's the only way operation phoenix can still fly
Because the one they'll be passing the torch to is me
Well me and my bro but he didn't make it unfortunately
So now it's all up to me to keep humanity going
But I'm not sure it deserves to if it's come to this point
If it's all just the same, let's trade places even
If it is for just a day, I just wanna be a kid
Is it all just the same to you, cuz to me here in this void
It's all just the same
It's all just the same
Mom and dad keep saying that I'm a pioneer
But that doesn't really sound like the how or the why I'm here
We're just heading to a new host, just like a parasite
With-these frozen embryos, after sucking the last one dry
You mistook excess for success
Plus the virus of the twenties, the droughts, the famines of the sixties
And just as you're walking the tightrope of calamity
The war as the icing on the cake! One big nuclear family
If that isn't insanity I don't know what is
It's kinda sad but you have run out of time for what-ifs
Never did I ask to be the one to make this choice
But I don't really know anymore what I'm gonna do
When I finally come to the end of this never ending voyage
Never did I ask, never did I want it
Do you think I want, to grow to be three hundred
Don't I get a say? Cuz I never asked
To be puppeteered by ghosts of the past
Why don't I get a say? Why do I have to play?
This game that you have designed? For erasing all your mistakes?
Why do I have to keep living this dull existence?
Just to be another cog perpetuating your systems
You lived your whole life a coward and expected me to be brave
You lived your life without consequence cuz you knew they'd be mine to face
And once mom and dad are gone
And I am all alone
And still not even halfway to the goal
I'll be Several trillion miles from home
From a home I'll never know
To another I've never known
Was it worth it? Was it worth the cost?
If you could would you take it back?
If you knew me and knew I'd take the fall
Do you think you would pay me back
Promise me you would pay me back
