Lyrics for To Be The Moon King

It's the middle of January, he's looking up at space To Saturn's rings burning beyond the lunar plains Chasing stars, scribbling in mirrors over town To stick the perfect landing and break the speed of sun Trying to see what he wanted me to see there Was finally spring when he found a new dimension Building rockets behind his house crawls over his head To be the Moon King rising, something more than dead By the end, his days were spent, but he knew that it would work If he circumvented gravity and modified the torque Trying to see what he wanted me to see then It was finally Spring when he found a new dimension Building rockets behind his house, piled up in his shed To be the Moon King rising, something more than dead To be the Moon King rising, something more than dead
