Take your time and it will be alright although life has been mistreating you and it still won't get much easier hold on, hold on for a while Tried to feel the changes that you've seen no I can't say where we're going, or if I am in control of it so hold on, hold on for a while Oh Oh I just lose control, don't know where to go without you It's all real and there's no time to feel, so keep your head down, try to blend in to the crowd and just go on, go on for a while people change and what else can I say? No I'm not trying to ignore it, I'm just tired of feeling all of this so go on, just go on for a while Oh Oh I just lose control, don't know where to go, without you Oh Oh never let it show, never let them know about you

Flight Risk 06:04
Tried to find the way we're meant to be/ but I couldn't believe in all that I have seen/ how the worst has come out of our best beliefs/ from the mouths of gods that we could never see Maybe all this just goes to show I just don't belong in this world at all/ Maybe I don't wanna know what goes on behind that closed door, what are they all running toward? What is it all for? I don't think I can take it anymore Who has seen your face, can anyone? if you were there, you have already gone/ a final breathe speaks out a silent word, one prayer for truth that cannot be learned/ after all we gave, look how little we've earned, to have become a slave to this life you've learned Maybe all this just goes to show I just don't belong in there world at all/ maybe I don't wanna know what goes on behind that closed door, what are they all running toward? what is it all for? I don't think I can take it anymore

There you stand with your back up against the wall, try to tell yourself nothing ever even happened at all/ you can't explain though you try to play along, but this is not the way that things should have been at all ooohh, what do I have to do to make you understand that I've done everything I can?/ooohh, they say you did what you had to do, I tried to understand why you couldn't make it in the end Find a way to have it make sense all along but every word you say knocks down a bridge and builds a wall/ You can't escape, except to face what you've become but like they've always said, why's it always easier said than done? ooohh, what do I have to do to make you understand that I've done everything I can?/ooohh, they say you did what you had to do, I tried to understand why you couldn't make it in the end

Close Or Far 03:23
I see the sun, it doesn't change how I feel/ I know everyone, they want nothing to do with me, they want nothing to do with me All things become something different than they should be/ I don't know anyone who can explain anything to me, who can explain anything to me Am I close or am I far to the person that I should be?/ will I get to where I've gone, or should I just pack my things and leave? Should I just pack my things and leave?

Tried to share your vision and know what makes you blind/ tried to ease your sorrows and only gave you mine/ see through your tomorrows a past you've left behind/ to know who makes you hollow and look them in the eye and oh, to feel there pain, hear there sighs I still wouldn't turn back time, or change the way things are now Questioning the answers, the wisdom left unsaid/ living by dictation, the reasons that you've had/ feeling only nothing, a voice to raise no song/ the path to where we're going always seems to long and oh, to feel that pain, hear those sighs I still wouldn't turn back time, or change the way things are now I still wouldn't turn back time, or change the way things are now and oh, if I could only find a way, I would tell you we'll make it somehow

Waves 01:04
woooooshhhhh.......wwoooooossshhhhh......wwooooooooshhhhh
9.
The last has gone, we once held it all/ but now it's over, all but to wonder why/ I hear the call, the time carries on/ broken, shattered, but what does it matter now? How can we know the way that it will unfold?/ I though I once held it all, then I had to let go I never saw the sky look so blue Out on this road, after so long/ you see the place that we wanted to go was right where we'd started from/ asking so long the question burns in your soul/ about this coming and going, it all has me falling apart How can we know the way that it will unfold?/ I thought I once held it all, then I had to let go I never saw the sky look so blue

about

Astronauto Valley Stream, New York

The music of Astronauto is a sound as peaceful as it is jarring. Introspective folk realism collides head on with expansive electronic dreamscapes, using on the way everything from acoustic guitars to fuzz basses, analog synths to manipulated paint cans. ... more
