Honorary Astronaut

[Verse 1]
How could it be that everyone knows everything
When they haven't even bothered asking me?
What could they possibly know unless they hear me speak?
[Chorus 1]
They know you doubt yourself
Far more than someone else
But they can see
The heart of it is bullshit
And if you want to quit
Then you should leave
[Verse 2]
You keep cracking, always happens when kneejerk reactions make you want to hide
Where you can fortify
Fasten latches, batten hatches
The wolves are scratching at your door
Don't lie, you wanna let 'em inside
[Bridge]
Why does it feel like I don't know anything?
[Verse 3]
My blinders on, speeding towards a half dollar
Already silver to show
The shell is coolin' but the core is gettin' hotter
No telling when it will explode
[Chorus 2]
You often ask yourself
When you're with someone else
What do they see?
And after all the bullshit
Am I the filament or filigree?
[Verse 4]
So when kneejerk reactions make you want to die
Right where you’ve fortified
Just loosen latches, open hatches
The wolves were always howling from inside
But, now, they're mummified
