Retro Starship
Countdown ticking, precision vision
Jaw clenched, feel the fission
Hand on the throttle, soul in the bottle
Heart on a mission, born from decision

Built this from fragments, cosmic attachments
Grease on my palms, tracing the pavements
Late night equations, silent invasions
Coffee and psalms, mixing ancient persuasions
Blew past the dread, like smoke in the head
Screws on the table, where the ego was fed
They said stay down, stay in your lane
I welded my essence right onto the frame

Rocket engine, light it, let it roar
I’ve been grinding in the hangar, now I’m blowing off the door
Rocket engine, pressure in my chest
If I’m flying too high, then I’m dying in the quest
Let it lift, let it lift

Spark in the chamber, a quiet danger
Click, then flame, to the world I'm a stranger
Watch that pressure, match my stature
From the basement, past the curvature
Up through the clouds, away from the crowds
Turned my failures into thunderous sounds
Every setback, fuel in the stack
Every cold shoulder, a star on the track
I don’t beg gates, I rewrite the fates
Launch pad ready, while the universe waits

Rocket engine, light it, let it roar
I’ve been grinding in the hangar, now I’m blowing off the door
Rocket engine, pressure in my chest
If I’m flying too high, then I’m dying in the quest, oh yeah

Three… two…
Can’t stop now
One… then…
Feel that pow, the spark is when
If I fall back, I still left flame
Burned my trail, carved my name
Rocket engine, dying in the quest, dying in the quest
