Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Stars fade like memory the instant before dawn

Low in the east, the Sun appears golden as an opening eye

That which can be named must exist

That which can be named can be written

That which is written shall be remembered

That which is remembered lives

In the land of Egypt, Osiris breathes

The Sun rises and mists disperse

As I am, I was, and I shall be a thing of matter and Heaven

[Verse 2]

I'm not a superstar astronaut

That's 81 on the controls

S02 on the intercom

I'm not a superstar astronaut

Ready for take off

Let's get it

[Verse 3]

One, callin' mission control, this is our statement

It's a race against time and past the deadline

Still, we can make it if we try

It must be a sign that the planets are aligned

The window is narrow, but delivery is possible

Reverse engineer the future down to the particles

Like you had it in your hand, the Akashic Almanac

All you gotta do is drop the needle and sample that

What was once a drip is now an avalanche

Of ideas comin' in heavy, pours when it rains on your habitat

Uh, fill the cup to the brim and it overflows, status quo overthrow

Used to put the pro in procrastination

Prioritize is the name of the game

You watch so much gloss off the products, it blinds you

Unless you nerd out, the way will not come find you

Put the word out, your sphere of influence

Dismiss peripheral noise and circumference

You know your power lies within your radius

The core burns eternal with the fire that created us

It all starts from the mind, individual

You are the center of the universe, integral

The architect of the castle invisible

Savvy time traveler of astroplanes intervals

So gettin' back to the thesis of this album

It's a fable that spins on the turntable

Tested to the limit as to what encompasses an audio presentation

More than a fast track, more like a life raft

Similes and metaphors as vehicles and vessels, perhaps

On both sides, we aim to expand the scope

For songs you can call your friends and say it's dope, uh

[Verse 4]

Callin' mission control, this is our statement

Free the androids trapped in duality

We got to tell 'em this system is a fallacy

Wake up the masses dying in a fantasy

[Verse 5]

Yeah, forget the wordplay, nah, I'm serious

The present climate can make us all furious

Nobody ventures into interesting areas

The industry NASA model, nefarious

A lot of budget in a name and a face

They can hype you up and put you up in space

And then film your fate

Take you there just to broadcast to the world

We're goin' past the frontier lookin' for the pearl

Our vision, unwaverin', freedom, we're savorin'

Everyday, roam galaxies neighborin'

Still highjack the mainframe time to time

Control interfaces, easy like pantomime

Sing your heart out, let guitars cry

Let the keys talk, tell a story, feet high

I'm not a superstar astronaut

But I'ma fly my ship whether they like it or not

I'm a hustler, a punk prodigy

Never once did it for the money, just do it for my progeny

It's all relativity, my kin, my affinity started in '93 to infinity

Trailblazer with an eco sensibility

Shape shiftin' alter-ego versatility

Reppin' my ethos to the best of my ability

I got the dope paint to color my reality

[Verse 6]

Callin' mission control, this is our statement

Free the androids trapped in duality

We got to tell 'em this system is a fallacy

Wake up the masses dying in a fantasy

[Verse 7]

Callin' mission control, this is our statement

Free the androids trapped in duality

We got to tell 'em this system is a fallacy

Wake up the masses dying in a fantasy

[Verse 8]

I'm not a superstar astronaut
