Rocket Back Down

from Cotillion Knives by The Qualia

/

lyrics

Six o’clock and another morning,
you push it as far as you can go,
then you rocket back down,
rocket back all the way.
Mom and Dad in their fancy houses,
waiting for their legacies to grow,
but we rocket back down,
rocket back all the way.

You don’t get no time to sail the ocean.
You don’t get no time to tend your garden.
You don’t get no time for aimless coasting.
I can’t find the time to build a life I can love.

Sisyphus never got it this bad,
he had time to catch his breath at the end of the day,
but we rocket back down,
rocket back all the way.
Some people get by so easy,
but once it’s clear you’ve got something to say,
then you rocket back down,
rocket back all the way.

So you can find me in the early classes,
humming gentle songs about escape,
but I’ll rocket back down,
rocket back all the way.
