Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
What put me here?
Nothing to hold onto
Nowhere to brake
Where is the rip cord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction
(although fall down is much cooler)
The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs
I threw the window open, challenging despair
I don't know what I needed
I needed time
I needed to escape
I saw the future turn
Upside-down and hesitated.
Where is the rip cord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction
Accelerate.
The vista I see now is changing
Uncertainty is suffocating
Hope has never felt so grating
Lit up dim
And pounding pulse
Make it go
Make it slow down,
Go.
Where is the rip cord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction.
The city sputters, it's like it's ready to explode
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete.
