about

Rockets is the only track on the record with filtered electronic vibraphone.

lyrics

All this talking about when days were new
Idealistic actions seemed so true
We felt stronger, dreams had just begun
Burdens lighter before gravity won

So long ago
We lost our way
At the beginning
We should have stayed

Watching eyes towards the heavens staring down
Waiting to see rockets cross the night
Our world changing, do we even try?
Our fixation, the world passes by

So busy talking
Arguing so strong
We forgot meaning
Somewhere became wrong

And when did we lose our sight
Of what our actions mean?
And when did we fall out of touch
With what it is to love?

Are we somewhere in the atmosphere?
Or have we missed our ride?
When we lose sight of meaning
We're hollowed out inside
Like shooting stars we're burning up
Left in the rockets' dust
When we argue as reason
We're broken and we're lost

Old age approaching
Scars come with it too
Love not in motion
Will turn black and blue
Hardness growing
Deep within our skin
Our hearts changing
Calloused to our sin

Bitterness consumes
Makes us to stay
Stagnant we're wasting
Set in our ways

When did we lose our sight
Of what our actions mean?
And when did we fall out of touch
With what it is to love?

I'm sick of it
Of all of this
No more bitterness
Just love
