Today’s The Day You Die (Alone In Space)
[Verse 1: Dan Bull]
I was considered myself a humble individual
Dressed in muted colors, haircut was unoriginal
Faded in the background of numbers and digital
Signals under the radar, may as well have become invisible
I just wanted to get on with my job
Feed my family back home, my son and my dog
But it wasn't to be, no, it wasn't my lot
Cause I was summoned to plead my comeuppance with God
Looking back, maybe I shouldn't have been a stranger
My shipmates saw it as suspicious behavior
And when you think you're in danger, your brain just
Doesn't consider there could be legitimate ways to explain
Somеbody's not involved
In a case that's unsolved, thеy won't wait til it's cold
Up in space where the laws aren't the same as enforced
Back at base, they're not waiting to take it to court, it's unfortunate
[Chorus: Bonecage]
Such a brutal sentence carried out on a decent man
He begged and pleaded and tried to make them understand
He spoke the truth when all they wanted was a lie
They judged him guilty, and they sent him off to die alone in space
[Verse 2: Dan Bull]
They said a corpse had been found, I never saw it
When it was reported I was sat on the toilet
How could I be embroiled and entangled in this scandal
When I had my trousers down on the ground around my ankles?
By the time I'd left the cubicle, I'd get accused of all
The things of which I knew little, flipping beautiful
My hands were barely dry, they said I might have had blood on them
But I'm an innocent guy, come on, have you forgotten:
No opportunity for me to testify, no fair trial
Just a death-defying leap, and I've run out of air miles
No plea for clemency, that isn't their style
I just never seem to catch a break, I may be here a while
So I guess I'll breathe this oxygen
Until this oxygen just stops again
No option but to breathe this oxygen
Until this oxygen just stops again
[Chorus: Bonecage]
Such a brutal sentence carried out on a decent man
He begged and pleaded and tried to make them understand
He spoke the truth when all they wanted was a lie
They judged him guilty, and they sent him off to die alone in space
Such a brutal sentence carried out on a decent man
He begged and pleaded and tried to make them understand
He spoke the truth when all they wanted was a lie
They judged him guilty, and they sent him off to die
[Bridge: Dan Bull]
So I guess I'll breathe this oxygen
Until this oxygen just stops again
No option but to breathe this oxygen
Until this oxygen just stops again
[Outro: Bonecage & Dan Bull]
The end you suffer is the ultimate disgrace
Lost forever and today's the day you die alone in space
They who judge are keen to seal an awful fate
What a trip it's been, today's the day you die alone in space
So I guess I'll breathe this oxygen
Until this oxygen just stops again
No option but to breathe this oxygen
Today's the day you die alone in space
So I guess I'll breathe this oxygen
Until this oxygen just stops again
No option but to breathe this oxygen
Today's the day you die alone in space
