Just Like Me 03:44
Your dark cave shadow eyes follow transgressions down the line/ it's time you've recognized the fleeting signs of your own life/ and if all that I can say would just make you walk away/ and if it's just one more day could ever stay, would you ever stay? You know it's just like me to hide my face at times like these/ not sure if all that you see could ever be meant to deceive Leave your bygones on the highway, in a different part of town/ for tomorrow we all set sail for a brand new horizon/ the needle of circumstance will sew the threads of time/ for one day we will all be ordinary, never asking why (chorus) If dark tongues speak in silence there is no patience in disguise/ no echoes from the forest can see the damage in our eyes/ if all your love is treason then there is no choosing sides/ there was never any reason if there's no such thing as time (chorus) well you know it's just like me well you know it's just like me

Tried to show you what exactly was going on in my head, and maybe tell you what I might've said/ but I won't be ok if I stay this way, I just can't take another day without finding out Won't you tell me what I've done, what's the cause or the reason, that you can't feel the way I feel/ or understand, or ever show anything that resembles love at all Why does it have to take so long/ don't they know I'll be gone before too long/ Can't they see how far we've come/ nothing ends, it changes over and over, and over again Well I don't need you or anybody, don't try and stop me I'm gone, you know as well as I do that I don't belong/ I can't explain I don't feel the same as anyone who's gone or came through my life (chorus) (chorus)

Luna 03:29
aaaawwwooooooo

On The End 03:38
Watch the rain outside/ and in time the storm rolls on, they say/ try to pass the time/ but passionate crime, won't get so far from here Say all of those things/ your wishes can't bring/ all of them true for you Say all of those things/ your wishes can't bring/ all off them true for you Hide, go hide away/ the rest of your days/ destined to stay right here/ can't really explain/ the way that you said/ it all felt so strange The end came/ nothing had changed/ nobody there to ease the pain for you The end came/ nothing had changed/ nobody there to ease the pain for you (chorus 1) (chorus 2)
5.
The Old Lion 03:22
He brings the desert with him wherever he goes/ he feels the skin cracking underneath his clothes/ so bend down the branches and stand on your toes The old lion has fallen down/ the old lion has fallen down The king he is mortal for all that we know/ put into power by these laws of long ago/ we feel our hearts sinking as our spirits grow (chorus) And this skin that I'm lying in/ does not feel like my own/ and all these sins that have me crying/ makes me wonder why I have been born He brings the desert with him wherever he goes/ he feels the skin cracking underneath his clothes/ so bend down the branches and stand on your toes (chorus) (chorus)

Well I still don't know what I was looking for/ and I just realized that I'm still as lost/ why can't we find the right way?/ I can't see tomorrow 'til I'm through today You looked into my eyes/ you said you couldn't take anymore/ not knowing what is right/ what were we all put here for? Dark and still comes the night from above/ who can tell what the gods were dreaming of/ cry so softly that you can't be heard/ fly so high that you forget the earth (chorus) But maybe someday you will look and see/ that things are not always the way that they seem to be (chorus) Look at me tomorrow and you will see the damage it has done/ the more you try and find yourself the more you realize we're all one

Ode To Syd 00:41
sitting in a hallway/ seeing how everything's changed and I don't mind if it's changed on a sunday/ with a raincoat on in the sunshine lemon and wine/ won't you feel right in time?

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
