Rocket No.55 / #spaceport

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ © 2025 jack_ashinaga_japan ＝ Rocket No.55 ＝ This is Rocket Number Fifty-Five Reporting from the edge of rotation Still spinning at Mach one point three five No destination, no engine, no stop sign You’re already on it You were born on it And still... you don’t feel it? You argue about rules, while the planet burns You talk about truth, but you ignore the turn Tick-tock, click-bait, double-tap debates All while this big blue ship rotates This is not a ride you bought But it’s the only one you got Welcome aboard Rocket Number Fifty-Five Wake up slow, same sky, same bed City lights blink like thoughts in my head Street so quiet, but the world’s in flight 1,600 clicks every single night Shoes worn down but I’m standin’ still Clock says calm but my body feels thrill Can't feel speed, can't see spin Still this ride got no way to begin Rocket Number Fifty-Five, take me high Round and round like the blink of an eye Can’t stop life, so I stop my mind Just ride this planet and fall in line Rocket Number Fifty-Five, hold me tight Feels like driftin’ but I’m touchin’ the sky No control, but I call it mine Ridin’ rotation to feel alive Another dumb headline scrolling again Who’s right, who’s wrong Who spilled the glass — and how long can we talk about it? Rules? Manners? The meaning of “good” changes every morning The weather of the world shifts with someone else’s face And we... We argue over tiny things Let the sun go down while we’re stuck on yesterday's question Waiting for someone to decide but no one moves But from space? All that noise is just A soft whisper in a sealed jar Echoes in a vacuum Nobody’s listening We're spinning — Always spinning Riding this thing called Earth Rocket Number Fifty-Five At Mach one point three five Rocket Number Fifty-Five, keep your pace Circle the sun with a lo-fi grace Time don't care, space won't wait We ride the spin — no fear, no fate Rocket Number Fifty-Five, don’t look down This ship don’t stop in no hometown We all spin fast but pretend it’s slow That’s the rhythm of the life we know Can you hear it? The beat is knocking The harmony’s shaking No brakes, no pause — just vibe and velocity From out there… We’re wild Already gone Already flying Already... f***ing gone
