I Man Control

You knew before it wouldn't be so easy
It never is when it's a thing worth doing
Now you're encrypting
The transmissions
Of your flesh and your blood and your stitches

There is crackle on a distant circuit
I tune the channel and proceed to listen
It is your beating heart
Machined with art
And it can't be disarmed once it's ticking

I know I'm selfish but it made me lonely
I didn't get to pick the place you were going
So I'll put those feelings in a bottle
And for your sake I'll throw it in the ocean

Lives soon take flight and they float in the sky
Your capsule flashes by
If I could touch your crying eyes
Make a promise not to die

Your mission's critical
And this is always home
So I will man control
So I man control
While you split the whole heavens open
