Going to Space

from The Derelict Craft by Schaffer the Darklord

lyrics

I tried my best through thick and thin since I first sensed the fix is in
I hunkered down, stiffened up, when my luck ran out, never giving up
Well, I heard the call, and I’ve spoken out, but I’ve hit my wall, and I’m broken down
So fuck the win, I’m backing out, I’m buckled in, and I’m tapping out

I’ve been around, played the land, dues been paid, been screwed and scammed
I found a crowd, made a brand, alienated them taking a stand
Every day gets rough, wake up sad, think I’ve had enough of shaking hands
And thanking fans and making plans while inside I am breaking bad

Now I’m not the kind of person who unpacks my bags, sleep better in the back of vans
I don’t wanna go back, but I say goddamn, I’m addicted the crack of the clapping hands
So it’s off I go, on with the show while I’m dead behind the eyes like a dial tone
When I’m on the road, when I’m back at home, the only thing I want is to be left alone

So thanks for coming to the show, but I gotta go
As far away as I can get, a destination unknown
Above the clouds where the heavens run black
And I might never come back

When I’m sick of all the monsters getting all in my face, I’m like
Fuck that shit, I’m going to space
When I need to leave with quickness, and they pick up the pace, I’m like
Fuck that shit, I’m going to space
When I’m running for my life, and yet, I’m losing the race, I’m like
Fuck that shit, I’m going to space
When the only thing I wanna get is out of this place, I’m like
Fuck that
I’m like
Fuck that shit

Man, I can’t believe this, it’s another night of sleeplessness
I need to get me free from this, I’d rather be on Venus, yes
So peel me off the ceiling, this has gotten way too real, I guess
I’m pretty far from feeling this, don’t even wanna deal with this

When I’m a step ahead, they always give chase, I’m like
Fuck that shit, I’m going to space
When it’s all wrong, I need to be gone with no trace, I’m like
Fuck that shit, I’m going to space
When they’re always bringing treble, yet they skimp on the bass, I’m like
Fuck that shit, I’m going to space
When nothing’s ever worth the time or effort it wastes, I’m like
Fuck that
I’m like
Fuck that shit

This is far from Camelot, I wanna take the fastest shot
To kick my shoes and jacket off where oxygen’s an afterthought
They caught me in the saddest spot, I’m fixed on what I haven’t got
A madness that I cannot stop, so fuck, I’ll be an astronaut

When no matter what, they get on my case, I’m like
Fuck that shit, I’m going to space
When I’m never breaking bread so save your sayings of grace, I’m like
Fuck that shit, I’m going to space
When I hold at seventeen, they hit a ten and an ace, I’m like
Fuck that shit, I’m going to space
When I’m in inclement weather, wearing leather and lace, I’m like
Fuck that shit, I’m going to space
When I’m sick of all the monsters getting all in my face, I’m like
Fuck that shit, I’m going to space
When the only thing I wanna get is out of this place, I’m like
Fuck that
I’m like
Fuck that shit
