cosmograf - when the air runs out lyrics

[intro]
“sam, we need a resolution
please respond, sam”

[verse 1]
you changed the world
but she drives on her own
they still say your name
but you don’t want the fame

you changed the world
but you paid a high price
was it all the best
or would you rather forget?

(please respond, sam)

[chorus]
don’t you know
you’ve changed
your freedom, for a cage
your life, for a grave

[bridge]
the giants of their time
the shot from a gun
brought them down in their prime
they fell from grace
solace in drink
their glory replacеd
[chorus]
what should we do?
when the air runs out
whеn this ship spins out
when this life runs out

[bridge]
then, men of small
and the air will run out
this craft will fall into the sun
by chance of returning
is none, none, none

i’m done
but why should i come back?
at all
and what’s more
who would respond?
(to this call)

[piano interlude]

“please respond, sam
please respond, sam
please respond, sam”
[spoken word outro]
“it’s ten o’clock, good afternoon, and this is forward arts
in his controversial book ‘the man left in sp+ce’, dr. samuel harrison examines the psychology of achievement. harrison presents a compelling theory that overachievement is a quick fix for wounded self+esteem and that chronically overachieving people don’t realize that unrecognized needs are driving them from the healing conditions necessary for fulfilled lives

does achievement, beyond expectation, in any field, lead to obsession? dysfunction? and, ultimately, an inability to perform
the reward for success, it seems, is sometimes to be destroyed by fate

in the first of 2 programs, we will be talking to dr. harrison, himself, a self+confessed overachiever, alcoholic, and depressive, and asking him if success could really be a curse+
be a curse
be a curse
be a curse+”
