The night’s light is here to shine on the ones who came so far
The bright sight of home is lit but no one there sees where we are
The others land but an orbit path is calling forth from the mission now
Inside this can, they get smaller till communication’s disallowed

Time spent alone is never good without a gateway to the mind
You start to feel what you know
That nobody knows about the emptiness inside
And while your time stands still, for everyone else it’s just accelerating fine
And very few people last an orbit so vast and how that must affect the mind

The night’s light is not in line with the ship, and they’re so far
Tonight’s flight heads straight to dark, not even sight of distant stars
The only path is a circle back but relative to what’s in sight
The ship looks trapped and the ones in back are so ungrateful for their light

Time spent alone is never good without a gateway to the mind
You start to feel what you know
That nobody knows about the emptiness inside
And while your time stands still, for everyone else it’s just accelerating fine
And very few people last an orbit so vast and how that must affect the mind

Time spent alone is never good without a gateway to the mind
You start to feel what you know
That nobody knows about the emptiness inside
And while your time stands still, for everyone else it’s just accelerating fine
And very few people last an orbit so vast and how that must affect the mind
