we get so reckless
looking for answers above
we're so defenseless
weak as our own bones and blood
desperately, we're inching towards the sun
'cause light-years away
something keeps calling our name
can we call them back?
we're building a rocket so tall
wires will snap and rockets fall
we get so reckless
putting our lives above all
that can't stop
our curiosity
'cause light-years away
something keeps calling our name
beckoning us to space
animals
put in our place
our saving grace
to reiterate
we're so small
the human race
couldn't embrace the stars

as we raise our heads, we saw an afterglow
but the silver walls are so monochrome
and the oxygen is so low
they never planned to bring her home
she is helpless now
we can reach for the stars but can't fall down
alive, they shot her into the empty night
a flash of light, rocket thrusters burning bright
survive, changing colors in the sky
as time counts down for laika
as we raise our heads, we saw a falling star
and wherever you land, i know it can't be far
you were the first to feel the weightlessness,
the formlessness and helplessness
wondering where you are
she is stardust now
we burn out bright but don't know how
alive, they shot her into the empty night
a flash of light, rocket thrusters burning bright
survive, changing colors in the sky
as time counts down for laika

another day

the sky burns black tonight
as we leave to prove our hopes are right
what must we look like?
from way up in the atmosphere
could you ever comprehend?
could you ever comprehend?
would you even know the fear? oh
could you ever comprehend?
could you even know the fear?
you burned up so bright
so distant, your home... so far
as a thousand children wished upon your shooting star
did you bark?
did you yelp?
as it all went up in purple flames
do you wish someone you trusted would call your name?
do you wish someone you trusted...
and we say, we'll always get to see the light of day
another day
another day
but it wasn't fair, you didn't have your say
anyways, i'm ashamed
we boxed you up and counted down your days
another day
another day
till it all went up in purple flames

whirring up and the humming won't keep you up
there's coffee on the table
you laid your head, you spilled your cup
it's 3 am in moscow, suborbital,
you're feeling stumped
6 years of testing
none of the dogs could properly grow up
having second thoughts
on the ethics of your research
as you connect the dots
from animal to animals hurt
was it worth the cost
to put our curiosity first?
as you connect the dots
as you connect the dots
you said that you regret it in '98
assumed it wasn't worth it, but it's too late
started out with lab rats
called it good to end with apes
decades of playing god to remove, displace, and delay shooting ourselves into space
having second thoughts
on the ethics of your research
as you connect the dots
from animal to animals hurt
was it worth the cost
to put our curiosity first?
as you connect the dots
as you connect the dots
as you connect the dots
as you connect the dots

satellite

calling to any voice that hears you
to the void beneath you
stretching out
longer than you could ever know
you've seen the people who revere you
cower at the sunset as the stars come out
reminds us what we will never know
you are so much braver than you could ever know
as you became a satellite, radiant with hope
now we know it's safe to leave home
as we raise our heads to the space between us
no one could believe us
we were close to heaven
closer than we had ever known
you've been paving ways for science
inviting and reliant
you deserve more
to be loved and held and never left alone
you are so much braver than you could ever know
as you became a satellite, radiant with hope
did you hear what they were saying on sputnik's radio?
now we know it's safe to go home
