Dead Astronauts “Erase Me” Lyrics:

With bones that break
With a head full of fear
When paranoia shakes
You get the hell outta here

With a scream to a sigh, a lie crystal clear
You’re leaving bodies behind, and get the hell outta here

With a scream to a sigh…

You’ll embrace me
oh, no
Just give me a shove
You’ll erase me
oh, oh no
In the name of love

You’d get left behind
No one would shed a tear
You’d just burn it in time
And get the hell outta here

With a heart to haunt, a taunting souvenir
You’re leaving bodies behind, and get the fuck outta here

Leaving bodies behind

You’ll embrace me
oh, no
Just give me a shove
You’ll erase me
oh, oh no
In the name of love

You’ll embrace me
Then erase me
Just give me a sign

You’ll embrace me
Then erase me
Leaving bodies behind
