Verse 1:
In a little shed, with dreams so grand,
He built a ship with a shaking hand.
The world was cruel, it didn’t understand,
So he aimed for the stars, a cosmic land.
Chorus:
Blast off, oh, I’m leaving tonight,
Into the heavens, away from the fight.
In a silver ship, I’ll find my peace,
Far from the chaos, a sweet release.
Verse 2:
The engines roared, and the flames danced high,
With a heavy heart, he said goodbye.
Through the clouds, he soared, left the earth behind,
But the light below, it burned his mind.
Chorus:
Blast off, oh, I’m leaving tonight,
Into the heavens, away from the fight.
In a silver ship, I’ll find my peace,
Far from the chaos, a sweet release.
Bridge:
As he floated high in the inky black,
A sight so dread, no way to turn back.
A distant boom, the world was ablaze,
He raised his glass to the dying days.
Verse 3:
Champagne bubbles in the weightless air,
A toast to freedom, a life so rare.
With each sip, he felt the thrill,
But inside his heart, time stood still.
Chorus:
Blast off, oh, I’m leaving tonight,
Into the heavens, away from the fight.
In a silver ship, I’ll find my peace,
Far from the chaos, a sweet release.
Outro:
But in the silence of the cosmic sea,
A heart so heavy couldn’t set him free.
One last gasp in the starry expanse,
He closed his eyes, it was fate, not chance.

A guy builds a rocket ship to go to outer space because he hates humans. As he rides in his ship, from a far distance, he sees the earth explode. He pops open a bottle of champagne and has a few sips. He dies shortly afterwards of a heart attack. In the style of folk acoustic music.
