Name: The Deadly Rapture of Space
Duration: P00H05M02S
Description: An in depth look at the effects of the 1965 space walk (EVA) on Astronaut Ed White. Some people have been entranced by the solitude of space, similar to the effects the ocean has on deep sea divers. What about the human psyche could make a human want to abandon all logic of self preservation and drift off into the solitude?

lyrics

Verse 1
In the darkness I am all alone
Yet there is no place I’d rather be
I look down at the world from my new life
My new life in this wondrous galaxy

Pre-Chorus
Now I know
Now I know

Chorus
It’s the deadly (deadly) deadly (deadly)
Rapture of space x2
I begin to fall
Space (take me) space (take me)
Space (take me) space (take me)
HOME

Verse 2
Never found much use for gravity
Since my youth it’s you that I defy
Stuck inside this protecting atmosphere
Now’s my chance to live above the sky

Verse 3
Can’t you see this is where I belong
I don’t need your human company
Emotions have no weight at all up here
And silence is my only loyalty

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Bridge
I’m beginning to see
What this silence has done to me
I am longing to see
This darkness lifted from me

Chorus x2
