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 on to
Nowhere to brake

Where is the ripcord
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
In challenge and despair
I don't know what I needed
I needed time
I needed to escape
I saw the future turn
Upside-down and hesitate

Where is the ripcord
The trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon
Eescape-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
Our hope
Has never felt
So great
And lit up down
A pounding pulse
To make it go
Make it slow down
Go

Where is the ripcord
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's burning
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
